THE WORKS PROGRAM
'The V/orks Program is a consolidation of the emergency work ac-
tivities of the Federal Government. It is financed by funds appropriated
under the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, which gave expres-
sion to the policy that, in placo of direct relief, aid for the unemployed
was to take the form of usoful public work.
SPONSORS
'The large percentage of the money expended goes directly into
workers' wages. Local governing bodies contribute a percentage of the
value of W. P. A. projects selected for operation. These contributions
consist chiefly of materials , thus permitting development of substantial
projects without diverting too large a proportion of Federal funds from
the major purposo of providing wages for workers.
V/OLEN. "WHITE COLLAR" AND PROFESSIONAL WORKERS
'In addition to the vast construction program, useful work had to
bo found for many professional, technical and clerical unemployed, "whito
collar*' workers, largely unsuited to physical labor.
Local officials again used ingenuity. A large number of W. P. A.
clerks arc repairing library books and raro old documents, revising jumbled
public records, conducting studies and surveys of taxes, land, resources
and many social problems. Their work already has received or saved nil-
lions of dollars in local revenues.
Unemployed engineers are advancing the Country's basic mapping
program. Architects are measuring all historic buildings, that thoy may
be rostorod if destroyed. Scientists are hunting new secrets of health
and comfort on research projects. Teachers aro lea ling a groat revival
of interest in education and tho field of recreation is being widely
expanded through projects for community organization of leisure.
'while many disemployed writers and research helpers are compiling
a complete guide to the United States, many disemployed artists are pro-
ducing a host of native murals for schools and other public buildings.
'" large number of our women are fighting the decay of idleness
at manifold trsk3. Thoy are sewing thousands of garments for the des-
titute, nursing the sick, cooking and serving hot lunches to under -
nourished children, and teaching the science of homo making.
Actors and theatre technicians are maintainging themselves by
developing a national drama, musicians by teaching and playing the bdst
of America's music for the enjoyment of all. These people have noither
IV
Sunmry - The Works Program - (Cont'd.)
the requisite skill9 nor the physical stamina to engage in construction
v/ork. To provide suitable onploynont to those of the relief population
normally engaged in artistic endeavor, a Nation-wide cultural pr ogram has
been undertaken* although only a snail percentage of the appropriation
is being spent for these projects, they were carefully selected v/ith tho
air., of enriching the cultural life of the Nation. Y/riting, music, painting,
and tho drama have always boen recognized as vital aspects of civilized
life.

"A SEWING ROOM WORKER"
"Mrs. 2"
Mrs. Z., a widow with five childrem was able to manage for three
years after her husband's death on the savings that she and her husband
had been able to accumulate. In 1932, having reached the end of her
savings and borrowing power, Mrs. Z. went on the Emergency Relief Rolls.
After a year or so of investigation, the State Board of Children's
Guardians gave the family a monthly allowance that supplemented the
relief received from the E.R.A. Within the past six months, Mrs. Z's food
allowance from the E.R.A. had been cut by two-thirds and the financial
condition of the family became very acute.
Mrs. Z., who in her youth had been a bookkeeper and a saleswoman,
found it impossible to seek outside employment. Due to neglect, her
teeth had to be extracted thru the aid of the E.R.A. and with this
physical handicap, even part time employment was impossible to get.
Recently Mrs. Z. , was advised that personnel was being hired
for the Sewing Rooms in her municipality. According to her identi-
fication card received from the National Re-Employment Service, Mrs. Z.
had registered at their office in June, 1935. Within five days after
she had applied at the National Re-Employment Service Office, she was
placed in a Sewing Room. Mrs. Z. had never used a sewing machine
before and was worried that she would not be able to hold her job be-
cause of inexperience.
A W.P.A. worker who knew Mrs. Z. , happened upon her in a Sew-
ing Room and the smile and greeting that. was given her by Mrs. Z. ,
was indicative of the morale and spirit of the woman.
"I have not felt as free from the stigma of having to accept
aid, as I have these past three weeks; not to have investigators walk-
ing in on me at any hour of the day to tell me how I can feed six people
on an allowance that two people couldn't exist on. I am able to send
my children's shoes to be mended because I have a dollar in my pocket.
Before that, the children had to wear their shoes until they were so
badly torn that they were not able to attend school. I never held a
needle in my hand before, and after this short period of training, I
have been taught how to make a complete garment. I know that I shall
save a great deal of money by making all our clothing" .
Mrs. Z. is able to meet her family budget with fewer sleepless
nights and calmer days than she has in the past four years.

Project began operation on January 30, 1935.
This project i:; intended to continue the work of assembling
basic information and data required by the County Planning Commission
in the preparation of a comprehensive master plan for Bergen County.
This work was begun under E.R.A. project 2-F2-216 and its various ex-
tensions and is still going on under extension #7 approved July 8th,
1935. It includes the collection of basic information required for the
developement of a comprehensive plan for sewage and waste disposal;
pirns for the protection of streams and water supply and property along the
lines of State and County Highway routes; provision for public open
spaces and plans for the development of transportation facilities and
the important matter Df co-ordinating the work and surveys being made
by other agencies throughout the county with the master plan for the
County, and the work already done, or in progress under direction of
the State Planning Board and various Federal agencies.
Surveys in the field are still in progress and a great deal
remains to be done in the field as well as in the office in order to
8-j
complete even the preli.ninn.ry picture required for the f emulating of
a comprehensive plan.
It is of the utnost importance to the people of the entire
metropolitan area that development in Bergen County be carefully planned
and intelligently handled because, owing to the importance of- its geo-
graphical location in the metropolitan area, Bergen County is bound
to receive a large and rapid increase in population with any return
to what is considered normalcy.
Unless adequate transportation facilities are provided, the
development will be relatively slew; without' proper provision for
sanitation, any growth will be dangerous, and without protection of the
property along the lines of State and County routes, and the provision
of adequate open spaces, the growth will bo undesirable.

Project began operation on May 17', 1936.
The purpose of this project is to improve traffic conditions
and the City of Paterson desires complete information concerning its
volume and movement. The information collected will serve for the basis
for needed changes in the City's, street and traffic system for determin-
ing locations and timing of traffic lights. The result of the project
will show:
1. The record of dangerous intersections.
2o Volume of traffic at these intersections.
3. Record of accidents.
PROCEDURE
Every Monday the Clerk of the project goes to the Police Depart-
ment and gathers information on all the accidents which occurred during the
previous week. He then goes to the Accident Spot Map, prepared by one
of the draftsmen, and records on this map, by means of colored pins,
the following:
1. Red pins indicate death.
2. Yellow pins indicate serious injuries.
3. Blue pins indicate property damage.
From this accident spot map dangerous intersections are loc-
8-p
ated and the traffic cunt at these intersections is taken. Every
intersection is counted "by two enumerators for three days at 12 hours
each* Men work in six hour shifts*
The information gathered by these enumerators is taken down on
forms approved "by the N.J. Department of Motor Vehicles. These forms
are brought into the office where they are compiled. A traffic flow
map of the entire City is being drawn showing "by widths the volume of
traffic passing through a street. The different directions of traffic
such as right-hand, left-hand turns and through traffic are indicated
by means of colors.
The draftsmen are also preparing traffic flow naps 11 a much
larger scale of intersections where unusual conditions are found.
The congested intersection at Railway Avenue, Park Avenue,
16th Avenue and Market Street required considerable study due to the
continuous condition of congested traffic at that place.
For the installation of traffic lights the Department of Motor
Vehicles requires that a plan showing the proposed traffic light location
and under-ground conduits and also a traffic flow diagram showing the
volume of traffic flowing through the intersection be submitted for
approval. This has "been done "by the draftsmen and' the enumerators on
the project. The City of Paterson now has four traffic lights and is
installing a fifth. There are 16 traffic lights to he erected through-
out the City. The Accident Spot Map which indicates accidents at
various intersections showing a marked decrease from the accidents which
occurred in 1935, showing the value of traffic lights at these dangerous
intersections.
The second part of this project will be a check of all the
parked cars in the center of the City. From this check on parked cars
by enumerators the time of parking, places where parking is prohibited
and streets where parking is prohibited. This information will be
useful in the event of parking meters. Private and public parking
spaces will be investigated as the capacity.
A parking reference map showing hy color the time limits and
location of parking in the congested area is on display in the City Hall.
The time limits are set off tr/ different colors such as:
1. Purple indicates 15 minute- parking
2. Yellow indicates 30 minute parking
3. Green indicates 60 minute parking
4. Red indicates no parking.
Mr. Alex Kane, Traffic Commissioner, of the City of Paterson,
is very well pleased with the progress of this work and hopes to obtain
greater improvements of traffic conditions throughout the City by using
this information collected hy this project.

This Sewing Room was startod in December, 1935, under the V/orks
Progress Administration, with 192 women and 13 non, for the purpose of
making clothing for unonpioyablos and needy poor families.
A sewing room site was s jlocted with duo consideration for the
welfare of the v/orkers. It is contrally located in order to minimize the
expenditure for carfare and, at the same time, enables the women with
school children to go horn- and prepare their lunch. Light, heat, and
proper ventilation v; ere equally important factors in choosing this loca-
tion. Tho equipment consists of 100 electric power sewing machinos , 20
treadle machinos, 10 oloctric pressing irons with cords and boards. Also
complete office equipment with desks, typewriters, steel file cabinets,
etc. The workers arc classified as cutters, sowing machine operators,
inspectors, floor-ladies, and supervisors. Also a trained nurse, carpen-
ters, oloctricians, porters and watchmen*
After assembling the women, it was found that ninety percent wore
inoxperienced an'1, had never usod a machine. Every assistance was given
these unskilled workers. They wore divided into various groups. An
instructor, chosen from tho experienced women, was assigned to oach group
t> teach the others tho rudiments of sewing. Thoy were started on diapers
and huck towels, those being tho simplest things to make, and gradually
progressed until, today, these women aro making c variety ;f women's and
children's dresses, coats, underwear, men's and boys' shirts and overalls,
boys' suits and shorts, men's work pants, girls' and women's two pieco
woolen suits. Also sheets, pillow c-ses, towels, baby bibs, rompers, and
layettos.
During the recent flood and hurricane disaster, these women
disregarded hone duties and devoted themselves to tho extent of 1,948
hours overtime work making 3,500 garments that were roquestod and dolivored
to the Red Cross for uso of the homeless and destitute in tho flooded
areas .

These women receive security wages which enables them to provide
for their families without having to resort to relief from public agencies.
All materials, findings, equipment, etc., in the sewing room have been
furnished by the Government and the Sponsoring Agency.
This sewing room has manufactured 12,500 garments during the six
months that it has been in operation. Over fifty percent of the clothing
made has already been distributed to the poor and needy families. These
projects, under the Works Progross Administration, are of vital importance
to our communities for they instill a sense of socurity and self-support.
They are aiding considerably in regaining confidence and moral courage,
thus bringing about the financial recovery of our Country, since the money
oarnod on these projects is merely an exchange for production croatod
by those in private industries. Also, tho property owner gains as tenants
aro enabled to pay their rent, and the farmer finds an outlet in tho con-
sumption of his products.

This project was one of the first rooms placed in operation in
this district. Work was started on November 25th, 1935, with 33 women
and 1 man. This project was overloaded due to the large number of women
seeking employment, and also to the fadt that the sponsor was in need of
many large and small comforters at that time of year. Besides making
the regulation plain quilts, many interesting designs have been carried
out by the individuals. One quilt that was most unique was made in crib
size, was placed on exhibit at Washington., The idea was secured from a
childs ' quilt over 100 years old; each block representing a letter of the
Alphabet with an article appliqued on each.
Another small quilt had three large kittens worked out in tying
twine. The workers in the room gave each one a name, they represented
W. P. A.: one was William; second Peter and the third, Alexander.
This room has been reduced to its original amount of workers.
Other projects have been approved and started, absorbing the rest of the
workers .
During the period of operations, this project has made and turned
over to the sponsor the following number of articles:

A Project Worker Expresses Appreciation
90 Main Street,
Lodi , New Jersey.
March 4, 1936.
To the First Lady of the Land,
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
White House,
Washington, D.C.
Madam :-
I take the liberty to address this letter to you
because I am sure you will derive the greatest pleasure from it,
also you may use it to the best advantage.
I only wish that I could bring all those bad
people that criticize our beloved President to inspect the
foderal sewing project in Lodi, New Jersey, where I am working
together with 75 other unfortunate sisters who like myself had
to depend for a long time on the State Relief. Our lives have
been changed from black despair to happiness and security by the
humane, genial and dignified efforts of the President and his
coadjutors. Without any urging, we work hard and neatly. Every
garment here manufactured, if I understand correctly, goes to
the poor, and we all try to make it as dainty as possible, think-
ing of the happiness it will bring in the homes of the derelicts.
Without trying to appear sentimental may I say that
we only stop working to cheer for the President and to pray for
him. You certainly know, Madamt the prayers of the poor go
straight to the throne of the Almighty and God will give your
great husband the strength to accomplish his superhuman task,
and confound his cowardly eiaenies.
With apologies, I remain,
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) Paulina De Rosa

of efficiency in all the arts of sev.ing.

occasionally patients are taught some of the finer points of this work.
Thanks to the efforts of these seamstresses, the institution
is gradually securing a well-trained organization of patient seamstresses.
The institution has contributed all machines, equipment and

Three seamstresses were transferred from EPA to WPA on
November 29,1935. The Project's task involves the instruction of
such inmates as are capable, in sewing.
We have been successful in making an appreciable number of
inmates proficient in this work. They have been taught to make new
garments and also to repair old ones.
A total of three persons has been employed on this Project
until recently, but due to resignations there is only one person
employed at this writing. Requests have been made for the replace-
ment of the two persons resigned.
This is a most important piece of work and much benefit has
resulted from the institution of the Project. It is hoped that it
may be continued indefinitely.

crocheting, chair caning, fibre work and piano tuning. Also there
are several teachers who instruct adults and children in music by the
method of 3raille notation, a system of tactile instruction worked out
especially for the blind. The pre-school child is benefiting to a
great extent by the employment of these teachers. Regular visits are
made to the homes and institutions for the above lessons in handcraft
and many a child is being taught how to play or interest himself in
some childish work.
Aside from the actual teaching, these blind W.P.A. workers and
instructors are responding to calls for interviews and radio lectures
on the work for the blind. Local organizations, such as fraternal
lodges, Women's Clubs, churches, and schools, have often had the
privilege of lectures or short talks on Prevention of Blindness given
by our teachers, together with the demonstration of the Talking Book
machine, a device which enables the blind to "read" all types of books
without the aid of a reader.
In addition to the teachers, a limited group of seeing per-
sons are employed, who are familiar with the capabilities of the blind,
to assist them in their work. Guides are provided for the teachers
to drive cars, travel with them on busses and trolleys, and generally
assist them in their w^rk when sight is needed. They also keep records
of the teachers' mileage, reports, and calls made, for forwarding to
142
the Jr. Clerk for checking*
Three Jr. Clerks are employed in certain districts to keep
all records, ledgers, account bo">ks, etc of the project. Checking
reports of the activities of the teachers and guides is one of their
chief duties. All reports from all districts must he compiled semi-
monthly for official classifications to be filed in Headquarters.
Other regular office duties such as better writing, copy work, and filing
are included in the Jr. Clerk's work.

A shirt without a rip, ah me —
I sew one seam and then rip two
If the lady says so-what can I do?

And then more ripping— Gosh- darn-heck J
Next the front and then the hack
This ripping my poor nerves doth rack.

This project with its headquarters in the Municipal Garage,
Kearny, New Jersey, was started on February 26, 1936* At that time,
there were fifteen (15) employees.
The purpose of the project is to secure wood in its natural
state, and, after cutting it to convenient sizes, to distribute it to
needy families throughout Seamy. It is estimated that about one thous-
and (1,000) baskets are distributed weekly among four hundred families.
Most of this wood is supplied, in its natural state, by the town itself.
Occasionally, round flanges of wood are supplied by the Western Electric
Company of Kearny.
In addition to the above service, the project moves the personal
property of those families who have been dispossessed, and provides
transportation to and from work for those who are employed by the W.P.A.
in Kearny.
The supplying of free timber is especially noteworthy. It has
been a salvation to those who are on relief and who are without gas and
electricity.

This project was conceived "by the County Superintendent of
Schools for Monmouth County. His attendance reports had shown a tend-
ency to drop during cold weather. Upon his inquiry he found that the
biggest factor in this condition was lack of adequate foot gear for some
of the poorer children. Some attempt was made through the Parent-Teacher
Association to relieve this condition, but without much success.
The W.P.A. project was started in November with three shoemakers.
One was assigned to Long Branch, one to Asbury Park and one to Neptune
City. During the winter as the work was finished in these schools the
shoemakers were moved to other schools, or shoes were brought in some
cases from the outlying districts.
Approximately U,000 shoes in all states of disrepair were fixed
by these men. The Federal Government furnished all the miscellaneous
supplies and some leather. These men have been moved from time to time
by the direction of the County Superintendent of schools until nearly
every school in the County was covered.
This project has been suspended during the summer months but it
is the hope of the sponsor and the participating schools that it may be
re-opened in the fall, when school starts again. Amazing improvement has
been shown in attendance records and the credit lies at the door of this
project and the Works Progress Administration which made it possible.

Conditions in Lafcwrood are somewhat peculiar' to its situation,
lying as it docs about 50 miles from Now York, Philadelphia and Atlantic
City. This situation creates a peculiar condition in regard to tran-
sients especially since the town is a winter resort. Numerous people are
attracted there for employment during the slack season at summer resorts,
T7hich are scattered throughout New Jersey. Probably twenty times tho ac-
tual number that can be employed appear there for work. Hundreds arrive
with barely enough to pay their transportation costs. These people when
unable to find employment usually have to bo furnished return carfare, to
the places from which they come, by the Lakewood Community Service.
This situation has led to the establishment of facilities for the
purpose of feeding these transient cases.
The Lakewood Township Committee furnishes the quarters for feed-
ing these people in the Municipal buildingo The Lakewood Community Ser-
vice is responsible for the food. The only expense which the 7orks
Progress Administration is asked to contribute is the salary of a full
time chef.
The Soup Kitchen opened October 28, 1935» the work being done by
volunteer workers until the increasing number of transient cases required
a full time chef and on December 24th, a chof was employed by the 77,P.A.
to take care of the requirements of tho Soup Kitchen. Each week the aver-
age number of transient cases fed was from 150 to 175* Tho total number
fed to date being 2,937.
The chef fools that the W.P.A. has done a wonderful work in keep-
ing up his morale and that of the transients ho fed during the bitter
cold wintor. They in turn, havo expressed their sincere appreciation to
him for the opportunity to obtain hot food when they were cold and hungry.

Project #2-212, Jersey City, New Jersey, was started on
February 11, 193^, with central offices located at No. 35 Oxford Avenue.
This project is sponsored by the Hudson County Mosquito Exterm-
ination Commission, and its purpose is to provide for the inspection of
approximately one hundred thousand premises in Hudson County in order to
compile data on mosquito breeding places found thereon. Inspections are
made once each month and educational matter is distributed in an endeavor
to enlist the cooperation of the public in presenting that phase of mos-
quito broeding.
The premises included in this program are located in the follow-
ing communities: Guttenberg, 2379; East Newark, 1789; West New York, ^520;
Union City, 9,000; North BQrgen, 7,785; Kearny, 7,382; Secaucus, 2,000;
Weehanken 3,230; Bayonne, 10,862; Jersey City, ^5; 570; Hoboken, 5^7*+.
These communities are all located in the County of Hudson.
The purpose of theso surveys is to establish and maintain an ac-
curate record of each premise in the County as to the existence of breed-
ing places in ordor that mosquito control work may be carried on with the
view of eliminating sources of pest production that havo, in the past, and
are continuing to cause great annoyance. The plan also embraces the serv-
ing of a form of "Public Notice" on the occasion of each visit as an edu-
cational and publicity medium designed as a preventive measure.
From the inception of this project up to June 11, 193^» there were
^7 • 055 promises inspected, and of this number 3>!25 proved to contain
breeding places. From June 15 to, and including, August k, 1936, 87,612
premises were inspected, and of this number 2,66l proved to contain breed-
ing places. This project is about 20$ completed.

The purpose of this project is the preparation of maps outlining
mosquito breeding areas in the more thickly populated districts of the
county to be used as a reference for present and future mosquito control
work; to ascertain the elevations of these areas and determine the best
means of draining them.
Until the latter part of May, most of the work has been confined
to the watershed of the South Branch of the Rohway River, locally known as
Succor Brook, There are about thirteen square miles contained within this
area which extends from Rahway on the North to Metuchen on the South and
from Oak Tree on the West to Woodbridgc on the East. All the water cours-
es in this area, many of which are not shown on existing naps, have been
surveyed and more than one hundred separate breeding areas have boon out-
lined and the work of determining the elevations of them has been started.
The plotting of field notes has progressed with the field work and the nap
will soon be ready to trace though it connct be completed until the eleva-
tions are obtained. :
In addition to this work, a survey was made of a portion of the ••;
upland swamp areas at South River in the vicinity of the Hercules and Eu-
pont Powder Plants. The nap of this work is complete and has been submit-
ted to the Sponsors.
Minor surveys were also made and grades established for work in
progress on the salt marshes at the Raritan Arsenal, Kcasboy, Morgan, and
Seidlcr's Beach.
During the latter part >f May, a preliminary investigation with
reference to a survey of the large swamp areas in the vicinity of Monmouth
Junction and Plainsboro was startod and is now in progress. This investi-
gation is in response to the numerous requests coming from the population
surrounding the swamp areas who realize the value of mosquito control work
and wish to have an effective system of control established there.
153
MAPPING SALT MARSH AREAS FOR MOSQUITO CONTROL (Continued)
There is still a largo amount of work to be done on this project,
particularly a survey of Mill Brook which extends from the Raritan River
through Piscataway and Bonhaiatown to the center of Metuchen. Also a por-
tion of Green Brook in the vicinity of Middlesex Borough and Dunellcn.
A resident population of approximately one hundred and fifty
thousand and socio two hundred industrial plants would benefit from an ef-
fective mosquito control within the areas covered by these surveys and it
is interesting to note that in all cases where we have been questioned
regarding the purpose of our survey, our work has net the immediate ap-
proval of the questioner. Farmers seem to bo particularly interested and
generally signify their eagerness to cooperate with the Commission.
The funds expended by the W.P.A. to June 1st, 1936 amount to
$2,953.32 divided as follows:
Field Work $1,949,19 covering 3,169 hours of labor
Plotting Field Work—— 649.73 " 1,088 " " "

ploys 40 people. There is a supervisor with 3 assistants and 2 clerks to
handle the assignment of housekeepers to cases, to instruct the house-
keepers in domestic science and first aid, and do general supervision.
The project lias provided service in mere than 160 relief homes
where the housewife has been temporarily incapacitated. The number of
cases referred exceeds greatly the number of cases actually served since
:.iany cases, although deserving help, are not as urgent as ethers, Tho
cases have been referred by the following: private doctors, hospital so-
cial workers, ifcrris County Welfare Board, Bureau of General Welfare,
State Board of Children's Guaroir.iis, Visiting Nurse Association, E.R.A.,
and Tuberculosis Association.
The workers on the project were all chosen nn a basis of their
physical and mental qualifications for the task of entering a strange
homo ani adjusting themselves to the family life. All of the housekeep-
ers arc between 40 and 60 years of age. The supervisor is a trained nurse
and has social workers for her assistants.
This projoct has received letters of commendation from the heads
of the County Social Service Agencies and is performing a very worth-

Emergency Relief Administration, Red Cross, private doctors, and visiting
nurses.
Since the housekeepers' homes are quite some distance from the
Main Office, the supervisor gavu individual instruction in first aid be-
fore the housekeepers were assigned to their first cases,
In selecting housekeepers for this type of social project, an ago
range between 40 to 60 years was established. Physical and mental adapt-

The regular school nurse in this borough was physically unable
to handle all the cases committed to her charge due to their number
and kind. As a result serious neglect in some cases was the result.
And so on March 9, 1936, an assisting nurse, provided through the
operation of this project, reported to the regular nurse and since
then has been of invaluable assistance to her.
Through her aid to the nurse, the health of the school children
has been maintained and bettered and as such a better scholastic
standing and greater happiness to the children results.

The purpose of this project is to improve health conditions of
the underprivileged families of the Township of Weehawken. This work
has been badly needed for some time, but due to the enforced curtail-
ment of the town budget its oporation was impossible.
This project, undor the works Progress Administration, was put
into operation on November 18, 1935» an(i consists of hone visits and
personal contacts of trained nurses with families throughout Weohawken.
The workers report to the Town Hall and are under the supervision of
the Board of Health and work in cooperation with the hospitals. The
staff consists of fourteen nurses. As patients, who still need atten-
tion, but cannot afford to remain at the hospital, are dismissed from
the wards, the names are given to the nurses on this projects. They
nake the home visitations and give the necessary care and medical aid.
To date, eighty-four cases have been investigated and medical
services rendered. Several cases have extended over a period of two
months where daily care is given.
A complete daily record of every case is kept at the office. Al-
though many need care for a long period of time, there are others who
need attention for only a few days, while some require only a change of
dressings, etc.
In addition to nursing services rendered, these workers made a
survey of the number of children vaccinated and innoculated, with the
following results:
Vaccinated Not Vaccinated
U39 Hl+3
Innoculated Not Innoculated

Date Started: November 25, 1935
Task involved in Work and Details: As a result of a previous
statistical survey, we learned that a large number of contacts directly
exposed to a known case of tuberculosis, had never been tuberculin
tested, x-rayed, or examined. The work outlined and followed was to
get as many of these contacts, up to and including age of 18, and par-
ticularly the school children, examined, tuberculin tested, and x-rayed
if necessary. The main result of which is the finding of cases in the
primary or childhood type stages of tuberculosis, which would otherwise
not be discovered until the disease had progressed to tho stage when
others would bo endangered by exposure to same. 3y keeping such cases
under care and supervision many positive or advanced cases of pulmonary
tuberculosis will be avoided in tho future.
The nurses intorview the parents or guardians of each child
listed, and explain and teach tho value of the test and try to secure
their consent and cooperation to have the child tested arid if necessary,
x-rayed. This examination, tuberculin test, and x-ray is given free to
all indigent cases after an investigation has been mado of their finan-
cial status. Whenever necessary, the nurses take the children to and
from school, assist at clinic, read the tuberculin tests and mako appoint-
ments and arrangement for x-rays of children.

TUBERCULOSIS SURVEY - CHILDHOOD (Continued)
This project was transferred from E. R. A. to W. P. A. for
completion. We had 450 contacts tuberculin tested and 177 x-rayed under
the E. E. A. project. A great number of contacts refuse to be tested.
However, wc have continued with an evaluation study of tuberculosis
clinic work in the county which, when completed and compiled, will show
the development of all the positive clinic cases of pulmonary tuber-
culosis boginning with the first symptom up to death or recovery. This
study covers a period of 10 years and includes deceased as well as living
cases.
It requires first a study of all clinic records, then visiting
and interviewing each case personnally (at home and in Sanatoriums) con-
cerning the beginning of the patient's symptoms, what steps they have
taken, if any, to get a diagnosis made, as to how soon they have seen
a physician; whether sputum examination and x-ray studies have been made;
how soon they have been hospitalized or given proper treatment after
diagnosis was made; the length of time they have been hospitalized and
the number of periods. Also the eventual outcome of the disease, whether
they became arrested cases or progressed to an advanced stage and in caso
of death, how long a period elapsed from the time of first symptom. One
of the most important items in this study will be the determination of
the effect of occupational association on the disease, as well as finding
out why cases are not diagnosed or reported in the early stages of
infection; and whether the fault rests with the patient for not being
examined soon after the appearance of the first symptom or negligenco on
the part of other agencies.

This project was started November 25, 1935 with two persons, one
nurse and one clerk, employed. The nurse has contacted 74 cases ncoding
bedside care as follows:
Two maternity, thirty medical and forty-two surgical cases.
The cases were referred through the ERA physicians and neighbors
and have required from one call to daily visits for weeks. 28 of the
cases have needed transportation to doctors' offices, hospital for treat-
ment or X-ray. One case of pulmonary tuberculosis was transported to a
State Institution for an X-ray and diagnosis - our Association car was
used for transportation.
The nurse whan not engaged in bed-side nursing, has assisted our
regular staff nurse with educational work. In five instances she gave
demonstrations to mothers on the care of heads for treatment of pedicu-
losis - one demonstration treatment was given in care of scabies. She
also assisted the regular staff with chest clinics and in follow up of
communicable disease.
In the office, the clerk has assisted with nursing records - made
out monthly reports, answered telophono and assisted with office work in
connection with the nursing cases.
The nurse has demonstrated to the community and the physicians the
need and value of a bed-side nursing program. Since the project was for
the needy poor, much material relief has boon necessary. The nurse called
on the Red Cross and Parent-Teacher's Associations and other organizations
for help in getting supplies.
The opportunity of working on this project has been beneficial to
both workers. The nurse has improved in appearance and spirits. Sho has
180

thoroughly enjoyed getting hack to her profession, and although Public
Health Nursing is new to rior, she has adjusted to it very nicely.
•The project has also boon very beneficial tc the Health Associ-

of Directors the value of this part of the program, and may result in

Two negro nurses and a negro dietician have "been employed in a
nogro section of Monmouth County where there is a conglomeration of about
7,000 negroes. Theso nurses and the dieticians have worked in the homos
of tho negroes in this district under the supervision of a negro nurse who
has her degree in Public Health from Teachers College, Columbia University.
These nurses have taken care of the sick, have given instruction
in home hygiene and care of the sick to the families and have concentrat-
ed on the control of venereal disease and of tuberculosis. The negro
dietician has given lessons in the homes of the negroes, gathering groups
together in different homes teaching them how to prepare food and how to
get the best value out of the food which is supplied in a low budget.
The nurses have their headquarters in a charming little health
center situated in the district and the dietician has a room specially
fitted up for her work there where classes are also carried on. These
women have done much to raise the morale of the negroes in the community
and to teach them how to care for themselves in sickness and in health.
In addition, five practical nurses have been employed under the
supervision of graduate Public Health Nurses. These women have assisted
the nurses in the care of the chronically sick and have acted as house-
keeping aides in the homos where there was illness or where the bread win-
ner or the mother was ill or in tho hospital. They have given bed baths
to chronic patients, always under supervision, and have helped prepare
food for the children and have helped with sewing, house cleaning, etcetera,
These five women are working in five different localities and are
doing splendid service and in addition arc being taught by the Public
Health Nurses in order that they may bo bettor prepared cither to earn
their own living or to take care of themselves and their families in a

SUMiARY
W.P.A. SERVICE IN NEW JERSEY LIBR-iRIES
Libraries, because of the varied, work to be d^ne, have been able
to use many people who couid not be used in other public institutions,
and the New Jersey Libraries were able to use to advantage many women
and a number of men who had been trained in widely different lines.
By placing these pdople in libraries the W.P.A. has been able to
give employment to a type of woman worker that it would have been
extremely difficult otherwise to place, and has at the same time been
of immeasurable service to the libraries of New Jersey. Together
with other institutions, libraries have been hard hit this past year.
Many with endowments found themselves without income as the invest-
ments were not paying, many that were partly supported by private
contributions found that those who had been giving money no longer had
money to give.
Sixteen libraries have been kept open more than half time
with the help of the W.P.A. workers during this past year.
Eighteen emergency libraries have been put in operation in
townships with the help of the W.P.A* workers. All of these libraries
are in needy communities, suffering greatly from unemployment, where
it has taken sacrifice to ;ive any thin.- toward keeping the libraries
going. When it was found that aid could be had in the matter of
library workers, the citizens of the community took heart and raised
money for light, heat, rent and janitor service and 'built shelving
with W.P.A. workers.
With the aid of these workers fairly normal hours of opening
have been maintained in fifty-two libraries, which would have had to
drastically cut these hours without this help. These workers have not
taken the places of regular errployees.
A union catalogue has been made of the books in the county
libraries of the state for use at State Headquarters. An index of
special material hard to find has been constructed. A union catalogue
of special material in libraries of the state is being made. A catal-
ogue of pamphlet material of special interest to the state is being made.
More than one hundred thousand books have been collected, cleaned,
mended, and put in circulation throughout the state. Material on public
and school libraries of the state, historical and statistical, was
collected and digested for the Planning Board and their findings were
collated and put into shape to present to the New Jersey Library
Association, from this is being planned a program for growth of work
in the state.
Ninety-seven bibliographies have been made on subjects of
permanent interest in the state and thirty-four bibliographies for
organizations on matters of current interest.
187-a
A Reading List f~r elementary schools and a Basic Reference List
for the high schools of the state has been compiled with the help of
these workers.
Libraries have been arranged and indexed in one hundred and
two elementary schools. In thirty-two high schools these workers have
brought the library to the standard necessary for approval by the State.
This has been done from the ground up as little beginning has been made.
Special work, much needed, is being done in seventy-one libraries.
In addition to this the book menders have returned to service in
the State of New Jersey more than 985,210 books.
Technical work is being brought up to date in one hundred and
three libraries.
One whole county has had its schools and public libraries put
on a good working basis and so maintained with the aid of these workers.
These workers are serving in 136 public libraries and the
Public Library Commission serving the State.
Picture collections for the use of the Public and schools have
been mounted and filed in forty-two libraries.
Inventories of stations and main library and school collections
in all of the schools in the county library systems have been made in seven
county library systems.
Posters and puppet shows for use in the libraries and schools have
been made for nne county library system serving ninety-^ne schools and
thirty- two communities. These posters and puppet shows will be loaned
anywhere in the state.
The book collection has been completely reorganized in twenty-
seven libraries with librarians in charge of other workers.
A survey has been made of the reading interests of the communities
in eleven municipalities.
In fourteen libraries the borrowers have been re-registered.
The music collection and victrola records have been catalogued
and annotated in one county library system serving about 80,000 people.
Books have been re-numbered and re-arranged in thirty-two libraries.
Newspaper articles prepared weekly in fifteen libraries.
Reading clubs and work with the unemployed has been maintained in
thirty-six libraries with these workers.
Historical collections in three libraries have been catalogued and
the books of two historical societies have been catalogued so that they
187-b
will "be useful to the whole state.
Roods have been decorated in eleven libraries*
A special collection of drana in a university library has "been
catalogued and put in shape for lending to the libraries of the state.
Special collections have been catalogued in nine libraries.
In a collection available for the whole state the titles of foreign
books have been translated into English for the book card and for the
catalogue card so that this collection can be administered by a person
not familiar with foreign languages.
Index of newspapers has been nade in seven counties for a Union
List of newspapers for the United States to be published by the govern-
ment. Pamphlet material has been put in order in sixteen libraries.
A check list of State documents available has been made for the
state.
In forty-seven libraries book collections have been sorted and
cleaned. In forty-one libraries the back work of cataloguing and
classifying has been brought up to date.
This is beside the service that has been given in keeping libraries
open and serving the unemployed, the C.C.C. camps, the W.P.A. workers,
and those with more leisure because of shorter working hours.
Unfortunately, in many libraries much of this work was underesti-
mated and remains unfinished because there was not sufficient time. It
is also true that many who have been enabled to keep open longer because
of these workers would have to shorten hours and give up some service*
There are still tens of thousands of books to be mended, and
returned to service. Library stations to be opened to give service,
hundreds of picture collections to be made, rooms to be renovated, and
many libraries to be catalogued. The libraries of New Jersey are
serving 650,000 more borrowers with 20$ less money than in 1930.

On January 27th, 193&I forty-eight women and one man were assig.d
to work at the Hoboken Free Public Library, under the Works Progress
Adraini stration.
A number of workers were immediately placed on washing books an
scraping sides, also on mending leaves with transparent tissue. Anothe
group of clerical workers, while awaiting the delivery of typewriters,
aided considerably in the Research Department, checking the 'library boo';
answering to symbols found in the various indexes. After the machines
arrived all ' these people were put to work copying the card catalogue wh:h
was badly in need of modernizing.
The remainder of the workers were instructed by a representativ
of one of the supply houses (Gaylord Bros.) in the art of bookbinding ai
sewing the books. Were it not for this W.P.A. project, these books woui
have had to remain in poor condition on the shelves, as no library bu&g;
could allow for so great a number to go to binder. The books were then
renumbered, shellacked, and placed on the shelves in perfect condition
and in readiness for the readers. This good work must be seen to be fu.y
appreciated.

On November 15, 1935 this project with a personnel of 88, was
opened under the sponsorship of the Board of Education.
The men and women are 'doing invaluable work in the School
Libraries. In each of the six high schools, two assistant librarians were
placed who assist- the regular librarians in prepairing exhibits, and bib-
liographies in conjunction with the work done in the class rooms. These
men and women also help in the filing, cataloguing and in-
dexing work of the libraries.
One Assistant librarian has been placed in each of fifty grammar
schools. It is the function of these people to enlarge and assist where
there is already an established school library. Cataloguing of the books,
pictures and magazines has been a major accomplishment.
In those schools where there was no library it was the function of
the W.P.A. worker to create one. In many instances, heaps of dusty, for-
gotten books, pamphlets, magazines and unmounted pictures, with no perman-
ent room, was the situation confronting the worker. New libraries have
been established in these schools with modern card index systems, installed
in permanent quarters which are of immeasurable aid to the students and
teachers.
In the Research Library located in the Board of Education Admin-
istration Building there are twenty-six assistant librarians and clerks.
These men and women assist the teachers from the entire school system in
preparing material, bibliography for class room work; catalogue, index and
file ae the necessity for this type arises; prepare mailing lists of new
books and pamphlets for the school libraries.
The personnel will be reduced materially through the summer months
because of the closing down of the schools throughout the City,

Prior to the inception of this library project, many departments
of the libraries in Essex County were closed due to the lack of funds in
the various municipalities. TiTork was accumulating, books were being lost
and stolen and children's rooms were closed. tfith the money and man-power
of the W.P.A. much has been accomplished to alleviate these conditions.
In the Montclair library a complete re-indexing system has been
installed, together with mending, re-lettering and re- cataloguing some
60,000 volumes.
In Verona the children's room was re-opened with magazines,
pamphlets, etc. being re-classified, indexed, and catalogued.
The index system in the Bloomfield library had fallen behind and
the children's room was open only part time. Through the help of W.P.A,
the index system is being brought up to date and the children's room is
now open full time.

of a central catalogue of .all the books in the library system. The
W.P.A. , supplying a trained librarian, has enabled the, schools properly
to set up this system, which is of great value to the educational program*
By getting the books in condition, cataloguing, and arranging those
they never previously used, the children are taking a new interest in read-

The extension library project at the Nassau School is a very
necessary, service as it will add greatly to the educational program of
the above school. This service couLd not otherwise be undertaken, due
to insufficient funds. The librarian from the East Orange Public' Library
c insiders the work being done by the Tif.P.A. Workers so valuable that she
gives the workers special instruction in the most modern method used in
libraries. About 100 books a day are circulated and at the close of the
school term about 20,000 books had been used by the children. They have
also mounted 200 pictures pertaining to studies in the various classes
■and many b~>oks needed repairing and rebinding.

Approximate amount of work accomplished: The results obtained by
this service to the schools cannot be fully enumerated. However in the
few months during which library facilities were made available by the
centralization work in the Grant School there were more than fifteen
hundred books used by the pupils in the Primary gr^up, about twenty-four
hundred books were used by the middle school, and more than fourteen
hundred by the Departmental section,, This makes a total of approximately
fifty- three hundred withdrawals for the period of operation, about four
months.
In the Roosevelt school the library was opened for a shorter
period, approximately three months,, During this time, with 521 books
available there were twenty-eight hundred forty-nine withdrawals from
the library. In both schools the increased use made of the books shows
how valuable to the boys and girls this service has been*
One worker was very adept at book repairing and in rebinding. No
accurate record was kept of the books reconditioned, but it is safe to say
several hundred were redeemed for use both among general text-books as well
as library reference books.

REPAIRING AND CATALOGUING- SCHOOL LIBRARY BOOKS (Continued)
A library of mounted pictures has "been started and much work
has "been done in accumulating desirable pictures. These were mounted and
catalogued for ready reference "by pupils and teachers. Such a picture
library makes available a rich supply of valuable reference materials and
can be continuously enlarged as time and current materials become available
Another sub-project has been that of accumulating copies of the
National Geographic Magazine. Complete issues from 191*+ up to the present
time are being secured. These magazines are being pulled apart and the
articles, individually, are being bound with a suitable colored cover
sheet. Each has a title lettered on the cover sheet, and then all are
catalogued and filed with cross reference for ready use. This geographic
source material ennnot be secured in .any other way and is more pertinent
to pupil interest then most books.

This Project wns placed in operation in November 1935 an<i the
personnel has been placed in six different libraries throughout the
county. There are many requests for this service and whenever the work
is finished in one library the workers are transferred to another
municipality.
One worker is employed in the Freehold Public Library, Her work
consists of book repair, picture mounting and clipping material for
bulletin board and vertical file. Approximately 25OO books have been re-
paired and restored t3 circulation. The number of clippings vary from
week to week but approximately 2000 of them have been filed and indexed.
One worker is employed in the Oceanic Library at Rumson, This
worker is an experienced librarian and has been employed in cataloguing
the books in the library collection. She has catalogued approximately
4000 books since the inception of the project in November. In addition to
cataloguing, she has withdrawn and mended all worn out books. In this
work she has one person from the Youth Administration, who is being train-
ed in book repair to assist in this work. The librarian in charge has no
time for this work and the library, being a small one, has no available
funds. Both the librarian and the trustees arc very appreciative of the
benefits of the highly efficient work dine by this trained worker.
Three workers are employed in the Middle town Township libraries,
with headquarters at Nave sink. One of these workers has had library train-
ing and is doing the cataloguing. The other two workers are used for index-
ing, filing and mending. Daring the past months much has been accomplish-
ed toward the betterment of the Middletown Township Library, for instance,
during this period--
2,280 books have been catalogued
2,280 books have been prepared for circulation
2,550 books have been thoroughly mended
216 bindrey books were prepared f->r circulation
207
LIBRARY BOOK RSPaIR (Continued)
The "bills and letters of the Township Library, collecting since
1921, were arranged, classified and filed.
The Shelf List consisting of over 15,000 titles has "been revised
and thoroughly arranged and "brought up-to-date. The Discarded Shelf List
and the Discarded Card File have "been arranged and revised.
Inventories have "been taken of all library "books at the ten town-
ship schools; at the Mi dole town and River Plaza "branches; also at Leonardo
Bclford, Port Monmouth, East Keansburg, Red Bank and Everett stations.
One worker has started a revision of the Township Library Catalogue.
This is a gigantic "but most important task to "be accomplished.
The Township librarian appreciates the fact that she has been very
fortunate to have received such excellent workers. They are all extremely
interested in their duties; have become excellent in their line, and work
most harmoniously together.
The Board of Trustees and the librarian thoroughly appreciate this
service and sincerely hope that they may be able to keep their workers for
some time to come. There is still plenty of work to be done. It has been
a perfect gift to this library which is extremely poor but very energetic.
This project has made it possible to keep more books in active
circulation and to keep up all of the normal services of this township
library to the public. Without this assistance many such services would
have been discontinued at a time when the people needed them most.
Two workers were placed in the Matawan Schools, one in the High
School, ana one in the grammar school. They have catalogued and mended all
the bo^ks in the libraries in both schools, including many new books donat-
ed to the schools. Their work here will be finished on June 19th. At that
time they -ire to be transferred to the Long Branch Public Library.
At Manas quan there were two workers employed from November to March.
Since that tine only one person has been employed. The first work done was
sorting and rearranging the books in the stock room. Good duplicates which
night be needed for future replacements were put in one section. Books
which night be used for reference, but for which there was little call,
were placed in another section. Ola Books which might be of special value
were removed from the stock room and locked up with other such books by
the librarian. Superflous duplicates „nd other books not wanted by the
library vrere placed on shelves to be sold. Fifty- three of these books
have been sold so far. This left shelf space for books which were badly
in need of repair. Such bo ks were then removed to the stock room from
the shelves of the main library room. All the books in the adult fiction
section of the library were then removed from the shelves, a section at
a time, listed and typed in preparation for cataloguing. While this was
in progress all the books in circulation v/ere also listed .and typed.
208
LIBRARY BOOK REPAIR (Continued)
When these lists were completed they were checked with the catalogue and
the accession hooks. Cards were then made out for the hoOks not already-
catalogued. Prom time to time now hooks were accessioned and catalogued.
Many of the hooks in need of repair have "been mended and replaced on the
shelves. ,
The figures on the ahovc work are as follows:
Books removed from shelves listed and typed . J>lSO
Circulating list 1209
, Books accessioned and catalogued U85
Shelf hooks catalogued 210
Catalogue cards made out and filed 2085

Children's hooks mended 60
Total hooks mended 25O
The Horary hoard, as well as the librarian, seems to he pleased
with the work done. Several patrons of the library have commented on the
improved appearance of the shelves.
Work which remains to he done is to finish cataloguing the hooks
in the adult fiction section, catalogue the non-fiction section and the .
children's section. There are also more hooks to he mended.
Work was started in the Red Bank Public Library employing two
people in December. All non-fiction books were removed from the shelves
dusted, repaired and replaced. Fiction books were selected by the librar-
ian for repair from th>se in circulation. These workers average about
50 boo-Ks mended and repaired per week.
The actual work consisted mostly of reinforcing the binding,
putting on new backing, mending tears, erasing marks and printing and
applying shellac.
The Librarian and also the Board of Directors, have been very
pleased with the work apparently and have been most kind and generous in
purchasing supplies to work with.
The work at the Red Bank Public Library has now been completed
and on June Sth, 1936 was started at the Red Bank High School,
Many requests for these workers are received due to the fact
that word has been spread among the various libraries throughout the
county of the excellent results obtained by libraries already using the
Works Progress Administration employees.

In November 1935 this project was opened in the County library
with the assignment of three women workers. All of these people had had
some experience in library work. The work in this library includes the
operations of a public library in Toms River, the operation of variou*s
school libraries and a traveling library.
The workers spend, on an average, two dnys a week on the book car
visiting the stations and schools. This means that they do the driving,
help cart the books, stamp out the nev/ cnes and re shelve the old ones. They
spend the rest of the time in the office t at 'xne of the larger branches.
All the victr">la records have been catalogued by composer and
title. An author and title catalog was made for the Barnegat High School,
Since October 1, 1935. 2706 books hive been mended, in the schools
and in the office. This does not include new pockets and cards as we do
not keep any records of those, "Books mended" means those taken apart,
sewed, rcbacked, etc. Once a month eoch girl spends a Saturday in the
office tnking care of general circulation which means experience in
selecting b^ks for borrowers, looking up orders, filing cards, etc One
girl has made posters for displays on special occasions during the year.
After the new books are received the workers get them ready for public
circulation.
These girls are gaining a great amount of experience as well as
rendering a highly efficient type of service throughout the rural sections
of the county. One of the workers has established a branch library in her
home in Seaside Heights so that through the long winter nights the residents
of this isolated beachfront town are able to obtain first class reading
matter for their entertainment and education.

IKDSXIIIG AHD REPAIRING LIBRARY BOOKS (Continued)
The county librarian holds classes in library science for the
purpose of teaching simple cataloguing and the Dewey classification.
Through her offices they have also "been able to attend some library
lectures in various cities and show a real interest in the profession.
The largest single project is in the Lakcwood Library where two
women and. one male professional book binder ore employed. One of the
workers is employed solely in the children's room. She issues on an
average of about 60 books per day to children. In addition, she files
and mends all the books in this department, an average of 10 per day
mended and about 60 filed. She has also mounted about 160 pictures
for this room.
The other woman is used upstairs in the main library on book
mending, filing and catal v:uing. The bookbinder spends his time doing
the more difficult mending and the book binding. Ho handles an aver-
age of twenty-five books per day. The librarian reports that all these
workers show a fine spirit of helpfulness and interest in their work
and she does not see how they were able to get along without their
help.
One worker is assigned to the Lakewood High School library. She
has mended U35 books, washed and shellacked U sets of encyclopedias of
60 volumes, paging 1U5 books that were sent to the bookbinder in: the
Lakcwood Public Library and using the Slectrokraft on 150 books. At
the present time she is inventorying, checking and sorting 2000 books.
One other worker is assigned to the Point Pleasant Public
Library and also spends some time in the High School. She has mended
approximately Uoo books besides all the sorting, filing, and indexing
which was necessary.
This project really covers the entire county down almost to the
last isolated shack in the pines. The Works Progress Administration has
made it possible for each family no matter how humble to have recreation
and education brought ■ilmost to its door. Certainly without this help
the limited funds allotted to the library work in this county would have
prevented much of this work from being done.

most of them were in a very dilapidated condition. Work was .started im-
mediately on these in preference to book repair. To-date 10,595 maga-
zines have been co\*ered.
These magazine covers are of strong kraft paper and are sewed
through each periodical. Fewer magazines were covered this month than
last as the workers have now come to the larger and more difficult perio-
dicals which entail drilling as well as sewing.
The work has been neatly and efficiently done and the librarian

Some of the work of the Library Froject under the Works Progress
Administration in District # 7 since January 1, 193^ *° date.
The Library project in this district works in connection with the
Public Library Commission which serves the whole State and aids all li-
braries, The work of the library project in this district affects the
entire State. It also serves directly the County Libraries.
The Library Project in this district also serves the County li-
braries in Burlington and Mercer Counties. It serves the people through
eighty-seven public library stations and school library stations.
The workers under this project have collected from the citizens
of the State more than 35fOOO books which they have also sorted, cleaned,
mended, prepared for circulation and distribution to the needy libraries
of the State.
They have gathered from libraries in the State, 11,000 duplicate
books which they have sorted and distributed to the libraries which
needed them or arranged them upon the shelves of the Public Library Com-
mission where librarians from all over the State come to select and aug-
ment books on their shelves. Thirty-seven thousand books have been
mended and returned to the shelves of public and school libraries in this
district This work of gathering and mending books has been most impor-
tant at this time as the stock of every library was much depleted because
of cut appropriations.
About six thousand books have been prepared and delivered to
C.C.C. Camps in the State.
The workers have partly prepared and are still on a Union cata-
logue of the books in the County libraries of the State and of the spe-
cial collections in Municipal libraries so that the work of the interloan
department of the Public Library Commission can be carried on more effi-

ies are made available for use in different sections of the State, saving
the purchase of many books for only occasional use.
They have prepared and indexed over 7t000 pictures for a picture
collection.
They have compiled twenty-seven bibliographies on important sub-
jects relating to the State and Nation for the use of different State Or-
ganizations.
They have listed the bound newspapers in the possession of the
State, Counties, and Municipalities of this district. This list is to
be incorporated in a national union list of bound newspapers for the use
of libraries and universities as well as the government. They are in-
dexing material in these newspapers relating to New Jersey.
They have gathered and compiled statistics regarding the public
and school libraries of the state and made a digest of this material.
They have gathered and compiled statistics regarding librarians
and library workers of the state for the committee which is preparing
recommendations for the training and employment of librarians and the
classification of positions.
They have gathered, arranged, and filed material for the use of
the library school of the State which is under the direction of the Pub-
lic Library Commission which material consisted of more than 3»700 books
and thousands of pamphlets.
They have found bibliographical material for four or five thou-
sand books which were needed for reference work.
They have aided in locating more than HO.OOO books which were
wanted on special loan for study work.
Two public libraries have been catalogued and thirty-four school
libraries are in the process of being organized and catalogued by these
workers.
They have sorted and arranged the records of the New Jersey Li-

activities.
They have revised more than 10,000 catalogue cards, and have cat-
alogued over seven thousand books in the office of the Public Library
Commission.
With the help of these workers, three libraries have been enabled
to keep open an aggregate of ten hours longer a week. They have taken

Due to an economy program throughout the Union City School System,
the schools wore using books which heretofore had boon discarded. To
safeguard the health of the children, it was essential that books bo clean-
ed and properly repaired. It was also desirous that educational data be
tabulated and that files and indexes be revised and brought up to date.
Also special instructions in hygiene be tabulated and distributed to the
school children. It was with this thought in mind that W.P.A. Project
2-9-5129, sponsored by the Board of Education, was started on February 3rd,
of this year. The following is a list of the schools where this work is
to be done during the course of its operation:
Thomas A. Edison School 107 West St.
Emerson High School 318 - 18th St.
Sara Gilmoro School 815 - 17th St.
Hudson School 167 - 19th St.

Roosevelt School 927 Hudson Ave.
Union Hill High School 768 Hudson Ave.
Washington School 795 New York Ave.
Robert Waters School 563 Summit Ave.
During the two month period, ending April 3rd, a total of 700 books
was repaired by the workers on this project. This work consists of eras-
ing all marks on the pages of each book; eradicating all ink stains; mend-
ing all torn pages with transparent tissue and replacing torn corners with
new paper edges; marking all new fly leaves and placing them on each book
cover; glueing the backs of all books in preparation for new covers; cut-
ting the edges of all books making them appear new; making and applying new
leather covers.
A total of 48 workers was employed at the end of the recent period,
forty-six women and two men. We must not lose sight of the fact that 95$

LIBRARY PROJECT (Continued)
Books brought in during inventory of school libraries. All books
have been rapidly sorted, shelved and set aside for cleaning and mending,
expediting regular work of the library tremendously and setting us about
a month ahead on getting those books in order.
Loading and unloading of the truck all winter has been done by
the male worker assigned to the County Library. This work is too heavy
for women members of the staff and we have no regularly employed man.
Cleaning and mending of books has been carried on all winter by
It, P. A. but the number has not been counted. Several hundred must have

services, and the correct block and lot numbers of all buildings serviced
by the City of Clifton's water system. This information is being plotted
on tracing cloth and will be made up. in book form.
This project is not a check on a former survey nor is it compiled
from maps. Evory main, hydrant, building, otc, is being located in re-
lation to the property lines and will therefore be of permanent value.
The correct lot and block number of each building served by City
water is being determined by the field survey and this information in
turn transferred to the ledger cards in the water department; thereby
bringing the files up to date with data that was heretofore lacking and
which is essential in assessing the properties in case of delinquencies
in water rents. In addition to the benef itcs already referred to, the
water department will have in its possession the information that is
necessary for future construction and all emergencies that may arise.

Operations on this project "began on February 2H, 193^*
This project is of vital importance to the City of Clifton due
to the fact that a vast number of storm sewers have been constructed in
the City of Clifton oy County or State authorities and by engineers
prior to the establishment of an Engineering Bureau in the City of
Clifton. There are no maps or records on file showing the size of the
storm sewers, those constructed, or the elevation and grade of same.
This information is necessary in order that a complete study and plan
may be made for the' elimination of flood conditions in the City of
Clifton.
In running bench marks for the storm water sewers, it will be
necessary in some cases to run levels from 1 to 2 miles between the
location of two different sewer mains, due to the f°ct that the city
never had uniform bench marks#
The project is about 1/3 complete to date.

Project 2-6H, City Hall, Bayonne, Hew Jersey, was started on
December 17 » 1935* Its purpose is to make a survey of the area of
Bayonne, approximately five miles square, for future industrial develop-
ment. The proposed survey will be made to obtain data on the enlarge-
ment of present industrial properties, buildings, etc. , of the upland
and submerged land. From this survey data, a new complete industrial
City Map is to be made and filed with the City Commissioners, the City
Tax Office, and the Chamber of Commerce.
To date, a survey has been made of about thirty-five industries.
In other words, approximately fifty percent of the undertaking has been
completed. In undertaking this survey, especial care has been taken
not to antagonize any of the industrialists throughout the City. For th(
most part, these investigations have been carried on satisfactorily with-
out making a door-to-door canvass. In a few instances where it has been
felt that complete survey could not be made without entering the walls
of a concern, permission has first been obtained therefor through the
City Department of Revcnuo and Finance, In no instances, however, have
the actual shops or laboratories of any plant or concern been invaded,
moreover, all the rules and regulations of these concerns have at all
times been strictly observed.

In addition to this, data is being compiled for the repairing
and maintenance of road surfaces, culverts and guard rails* .also, means
are being sought to eliminate dangerous street intersections and to pro-
vide for proper and adequate overhead lighting, (stop and go signals).
This work is being carried on throughout the county in conjunction with
the Safety Campaign, By eliminating motoring hazards and thereby decree

Under the sponsorship of the Department of Public Works, this
project was put into operation "on February 3, 1936. It consists' of a
physical survey and setting up of permanent records of approximately
seventy-five (75) miles of sewers , considering their depth, the
direction of flow, the size of the manhole heads, the size of the
pipes, and the number entering into the disposal plants. It was
found that there are thirty- two hundred (3200) manholes and about five
thousand (5000) receiving basins covering an area of seven and a half
(7j) miles.
The personnel consists of chainmen, inspectors, engineers, and
laborers, who are out in the field making the physical survey and mapp-
ing. The three typists employed on this project transcribe their find-
ings to record cards for a permanent reference file.
. This work was badly needed as this township was built up in
the last twenty years through real estate -developments. Each promoter
had his own contractors and used individual plans, As a result, the
records were incomplete and in many instances inaccurate* For instance,
during this survey, many blind sewers were discovered. It was also
found that sewers had to be doubled because of the amount of flow.
These records and files will be of material aid in setting tax
rates, as well as compiling and completing physical survey indexes for
permanent use.

Project #2-251, Jersey City, New Jersey, was started on
February 25, 1936, for the purpose of making topographical surveys of
all city parks, including sub-surface location. Property surveys are
being made of the following city properties: Point Breeze, Droyer's
Point, South Cove Grant, Howell Street Property and various other plots
owned by the City. This work includes the placing of concrete monuments.
The project also includes an architectural survey of all municipally
owned buildings and the drawing of plans necessary for repairs and
alterations. The various city service buildings have been greatly in
need of repairs and alterations, and it was essential that these plans
be made.
This undertaking is being sponsored by the Department of Parks
and Public Property, and it was urgent that the project be instituted
because the Department was lacking up to date topographical maps of the
city. Parks and other properties, including recently acquired tracts,
were not monumented; hence, there was great confusion in leasing
properties.
Each man is experienced in his particular phase of the work and
all are industrious. As a result, the project is functioning smoothly
and the work is proceeding quite rapidly. Approximately fifty percent
(50r^) of the task has been completed, to date.

paring, recommending and planning a program for further improvements.
This project called for two landscape architects and started
work on November 15th, 1935, with one man approved on the job. Two
weeks later, December 3rd, 1935, this man resigned to enter private
employment and since that time no personnel, who qualified and were
eligible, could be found to man the project, with the result that the
functioning of the project has remained dormant to date. TChen the

The vnrk involved in this project consists of the collection
Df field data and the preparation of a topographic and contour map uf
the entire Bore or approximately 2.9 square miles. The field work is
mainly taking levels at regular intervals, and other control points,
and establishing a complete network of Bench-Marks . This was necessar-
ily a type of work which required accuracy, as the contours were to bo
worked up on a 2 ft. interval basis.
The fiold information is plotted on a map of the Borough, an',
from this lata, contour lines are constructed. This map will be a groat
assistance in the study of future drainage and grading problems and will
be kept as a public record available at all times, to the citizens of tho
Boro.
Date started: November 13th, 1936.
Approximate amount of work accomplished: The field work has boon
accomplished and completed and the data is now being transferred to tho

in the Northeastern States Exchange Plan Book- (2) Plans to build up
the Farm Buildings Plan Service of the New Jersey Agricultural Collego
and Experiment Station. (3) Additions to tho map of tho College Farm.
NORTHEASTERN STATES EXCHANGE PLAN BOOK
This is a compilation of farm buildings and equipment plans a-
dapted to the regional conditions of tho twelve northeastern states. It
is intended to give to each state the advantages of plans worked out in
other states as well as to enlarge and broaden the servico thus rendered.
Nearly a thousand plans are now being sent to residents of Now Jersey
each year. The servico is growing steadily as it has since its incep-
tion thirteen years ago.
Our contribution to the exchange plans consists of tho following:
Sash Greenhouse: Shed Roof Movable Hog House.
Four Pen Farrowing House: Manure House for a 1000 Bird Plant.
E'.ectric Lighting and Water Heating for Poultry.
Now Jersey Two-story Laying House; Roadsido stands.
Retail Dairy Milk House; Burglar Alarm Syst.en.for farm buildings.
Farm Shop; Farm Truck Garage; Game Courts for Playgrounds.
These plans were prepared or revised under thi3 project and
were rocontly submittod to the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering, Wash-
ington, D. C. where tho plan book is being compiled. Added work may bo
necessary before final adoption and inclusion in the sot. Wo also stand
to prepare additional plans as they nay be needed.

PLANS FOR CONTINUATION
It is impossible to judge accurately how much time will be con-
sumed in any drafting job, yet based on work done we estimate that half
the work outlined has been dono.
The one goal, Northoatern Plan Book, is practically reached,
requiring only attention to dotr.ils of checking, correcting or adding to
the work which has been submitted. There is always the possibility that
new developments may require additional drawings in which case we must
assume our share of the work.
The additions to our own plan service have been neglected in
favor of the Plan Book which is of regional value The serios of plans
neoded includes:
Poultry houses for special adaption as battery brooders, incu-
bator houses, cage laying housos, and shelters or houses for
ducks, geese, and the like.
Additional animal shelters for hogs and sheep.
Fruit and vegetable storages, of collar or above-ground type.
Miscellaneous buildings as silos, implement storage, grain stor-
ages, corn cribs, hay barracks.
Farm equipment such as breeding racks, shipping crates, load-
ing chutes, gates, fence construction methods, etc.
One familiar with the work will r eadily understand that this
listing of work as a continuation of the project is more than can possibl)
be done. Especially in view of the fact that additions and corrections
to the map of the Collogo Farm will continue, probably throughout the
duration )f the V/.P.A. work since other projects so directly affoct
dovelopmont of the College Farm. As in the past the demand for service
coming from the state will determine just what linos of activity will
occupy the major portion of the tine.
Thus future work will include tho continuation of work in farm
structures design, further addition to the nap of the College Farm, and
the extension cf the work in landscape dosign.

This project contemplates a unified plan for the futuro ex-
pansion of tho University. It includes the design and alteration of
existing buildings and of. anticipated new structures} also ground lay-
outs and landscaping.
The University recently purchased 256 acres to be developod
into a now campus for a large athletic plant including stadium and ad-
jacont playing fields. Further study of this tract should bo mado for
sites of acadomic buildings and possible design of individual buildings.
The actual work started January 27th, 1936, and is 30 diver-
sified and of such a nature that it cannot be measured in units of work
or accomplishments, and so has beon considered as a continuous project.
The full personnel of twelve men for this projoct ha3 never been rocoivod,
yet a gratifying showing has been made in the development study of tho
campus at largo, locating new buildings, additions, walks, driveways,
and landscapo treatment. Drawings have been made for the alteration
of tho Reckitt's Building recently acquired by the University, into an
office, classroom and laboratory building) Bleeker Place canpus layout
with new broken-flagstone walks, regrading, utilities and lighting stan-
dards; underground trr.nsf ormor vault and meter room in connection with
the Engineering Building; and continuous chocking and resetting of grados
on tho River Road campus. Construction is under way on the Rockett's
Building, Bleekor Place, transformer vault and River Road items.

This project started February 6th, 1936. The percentage of
physical completion is 10.5/£.
The work undertaken in this project includes a mass of tech-
nical data obtained from many reliable sourcos, independent surveys and
private research. This data is being compiled and corolated into maps
showing the location of County, City, Town, Township and Borough
boundary lines; rivers, lakes, streams, brooks, and culverts, bridges,
highv/ays, streets and roads, as well as railroad right of ways and all
private property lines.
The southern County boundary line between Plainfiold and Rah-
way is being used as a base lino for laying out a series of 145 maps,
oach 38" x 62" at a uniform scale of 100 ft. por inch representing an
area of 23,560,000 sq. ft. or .845 sq. miles per map.
In the performance of this work wo have obtained copies of tax
maps, boundary survey maps and engineering data from Municipal Engineers
offices of Plainfiold, Scot'oh Plains, Vest field, Clark Township, Fonwood,
and Mountainside. Also, profile cross section and road construction or
improvement maps from Union County Engineering Offices, right of way

The preliminary work on this project, involving the location of
street lines and monuments to locate the City Line was started May 5,
1936. To date we have covered about one third of the lines involved.
A search of the laws from 1793 to date is now in progress to de-
termine the location of boundary lines of adjoining municipalities as
defined by acts of the Legislature,
The City Engineer and the Assistant City Engineer by their counsel
and advice have been of invaluable assistance in helping with the work.
When completed, the definite location of the City Line will help
materially to settle many questions now pending, regarding locations of
buildings, streets, etc. for tax and court purposes.

project:
On November 19th, 1935 wo wore author! zod to proceed with a sur-
vey of the Fire Alarm and Eloctrict Stroct Lighting Systom for tho city of
Long Branch.
This survey is being mado to draw a map of the firo alarm and
electric light system to ^facilitate the location of a ground or break in
the wire. A machine can.be attached to tho circuit at the battery houso
which will show about how many feet distant the trouble is and by refer-
ring to the map, con be located in a few minutes tino.
We do. not file individual reports. We make a sketch of each
3treet, showing location and distance of polos and wiros, which ore sub-
nittod overy other day to Joseph Dompsoy, the Supervisor of tho Fire
Alarm and Electric Light System for tho city of Long Branch.
When tho sketch of tho Firo Alarm System was complote, wo thon
had to take tho resistance of each firo alarm box. This is practically
complete, but due to the installation of new boxo3, will havo to wait
for completion. This will take abiut one mmth to conploto, it requires
lineman's work.
On tho 15th of April we started making tho sketch and measure-
ments of the underground wiring of the olectric standards. This skotch
is about throe -quarters complete When this sketch is complote, wo will
then have to check each standard for measurement to find if underground
wire corresponds to the ground distance and soe which direction tho cir-
cuit runs from transformer.

This project was started on December 4th, 1935, employing two
men up until April 3rd, 1936. By this time the field work was com-
pleted and the draftsman is tho person remaining to finish the map work.
A chain survey of the Borough's uator Distribution System has
been made. Field work was started Docombor 4th, 1935. This work con-
sisted of locating various valves, fire hydrants, size of pipes, etc.,
so that same would be shown on maps to be drawn up. The Borough has two
separate water systems - "lake v/ater" (from Deal Lake) which is used only
for fire hydrants and lawns; "artesr.n water" which is used for drinking.
After the fiold work was done, the valves, hydrants, etc., wore
plotted on drawing paper. Both systems wore plotted togothor, one in
red, tho other in green, so that it could be determined more oasily which
valves belonged to lake system and which to the r.rtooan. After docision
had been made, the results were shown to Llr. James E. Hennesy, Borough
Superintendent, and any questions in doubt were taken up and docidod.
Computations also had to bo made of the entire Borough of Allen-
hurst to determine the block distancos and angles formed by street inter-
sections. Then two separate drawings were made on t racing cloth, one of
each system. These drawings are complete and show street distance, stroc-i
angles, locations of pipes with r of orenco to curb linos, so in case of
leaks or other emergencies, pipos can bo located oasily. Theso two
drawings have been completed and blue prints made and turned ovor to tho
Borough.

The need for establishment of accurate boundary lines has been
accentuated by the gradual disappearance of land marks, referred to in
old doeds. The favorito land mark of the old days was the treo into
which the surveyor drove a spike, but many of these trees havo disap-
peared. Counties are jealous of the land possessions in those days
because land to bo taxed, must be in a taxing jurisdiction. Land
disputes between individuals also bring up the question of jurisdiction.
Approximately 145 miles of Burlington County linos will be sur-
veyed and accurately monunented by this project. The task has been con-
plicated by the fact that 31 chango3 in boundary linos have boon mado
since 1694. 200 pages of records and references pertaining to the
boundary have been compiled by the research division of this project.
Measurements are now being taken along the Wilier. River v/hore almost
every foot of the line has to be cut through thick trees and undor
brush. All field information will bo plotted on drawings to a scale

This project was begun on November 21st, 1935, with instructions
to make a topographical and cross-soctional survey of the Delav/are and
Raritan Canal, including research work as to the surface drains and
sewage now discharging into the canal; and also to make a topograph-
ical and cross-sectional survey of Sanhican Creek running through the heart
of the City. From the data collect cd it was proposed to estimate tho
cost of flume and fill for these projects which tho City hopes to ac-
complish.
Tho Topographical survey of tho Delaware and Raritan Canal wp.s
the first job tackled. Our point of beginning was at Lai or Street and
the Canal, and wo ran our traverse line in a northerly direction on the
west bank of the canal. All buildings, fences, railroad tracks, tho
Canal bank and anything else of importance were located by tho system
known as "plus and offset", and also the stadia mothod. V/e' wero able
tc run our traverse lino in a continuous straight line from Greonwood
Avenue, a distance of 6612.52 feet. From Greenwood Avonue to State
Street our traverse lino was ten f oot Y/est and parallel to our first line
for a distance of 1620.15 feet, and from State Streot to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at the canal feeder in a straight line making an angle
with tho proceeding line for a distance of 1966.95 foot. At each bridge
we chained across thu canal to a point on tho East bank, then ran a line
in a southerly direction to a point at the next bridge to the south, thon
across the bridge to the point of beginning. In this manner we wero
able, to make a number of closed travursos, each traverse extending from
one bridge to tho next. Altogether thero woro nine separate traverses
surveyod and tho north boundary of the first coincided with tho South
boundary of the second, otc.
After our topographical survey was completed, we bogan our pro-
file and cross-sectional survey. V/e started our elevations from a
precise city bench mark in the neighborhood of Lalor Stroet Bridge. From
this olevation wo determined the elevation of tho stakes of Our traverses,
o'do
Topographical Survey of Delaware & Raritan Canal - Trenton, N. J. (Cont'd )
then we ran profiles of the east and west banks of the stream, taking
olevations at every 100 feet, beginning at a point 800 feet south of
Lalor Street and ending at the Canal Feeder, a total distance of about
11,000 feet. After finishing the profile work, we began our cross sec-
tions at the Canal Feoder, and took sections at every two hundred feet
and wheroever there wore any irregularities in the banks of the stream,
for a distance of about 100 feet each side of tho conter. At street
intersections' wo ran levels on tho curbs 300 feet each side of the con-
tor of tho Canal, in order to ascertain Street grades.
Weather conditions were fair up until the end of December. Dur-
ing tho months of January and February, Trenton was- gripped with a con-
tinuous cold spell, during which time our progress was very slow, due to
so much snow and ico on the ground. Quite often the wind was so strong
that it was impossible to use the instrument to turn an anglo. Wo
lost considerable time on account of blizzards and Holidays. At the
present time there are 11 W. P. A. workers on this project, as follows:
one chief of party, two instrument mon, one draftsman, four chainmon,
and throe laborers. Approximately 50/£ of this work is completed.

The need of a comprehensive survey of the Boro streets has
long been apparent . During the past fifty years the Boro Council has
omployed various Engineers, some on part timo . Often there has been
no permanent record left of the improvements undertaken. Those plans
<vhich have been made have been of various sizes and to various scales.
Many of them are on heavy mounted paper which is poorly adaptable for
filing. These plans can be duplicated for field use only by the expen-
sive procoss of tracing. Only a few of the stroots plans show the
cross sections used in the construction of the streets.
W. P. A. Projoct #7-217 undertakes to establish throughout the
Boro a permanent system of bench marks in accordance with U. S. Coast
and Geodetic control benches. In the past there has been no attompt
to coordinate the bench marks throughout the Boro, many of them boing
of such a nature as to be moved or destroyed with the lapse of timo.
This project also undertakes to make an accurate survey of tho
stroots as they now oxist, and to draw plans and profiles of the curbs
together with cross sections from sidewalk to sidewalk at 50 foot in-
torvals or more frequently, if necessary. The average numbor of points
taken in each cross section is oloven.
To this end thero has boon established and tabulated a compro-
honsive system of 130 bench marks, U. S. Coast and Geodetic Datum, 115
tracings 24" by 36" of a final total of 166 havo been completed, leav-
ing 51 tracings to be completed.
Sinco tho value of this projoct to the People of Princoton is
to a largo extent depondont upon it's completion, tho Boro Council dooms
it most vital that an extension be grantod in accordanco with the terms

In order to bring the City Building Records up to date our first
step was to send out about 23 crews of two men each in charge of five
foreman known as assistant Technicians to collect data as to type, ago,
construction and materials used in buildings, also condition of structures
The above constitutes our Field Forco.
Our offico force consists of typists and. tabulators who record
and chock data obtained by the fiold force against the city atlas maps.
The City atlas maps being revised to agree and brought up to date v/hero
necessary.
To date out of 30,000 property parcels, approximately 12,400 have
beon physically measurod, and an additional 7800 are in process of com-
pletion. Tabulation and typing is keeping pace with the field work.
When this survey is completed it will provide valuable and
comprehensive data of all properties, thereby enabling the City Assess-
ors to make their assessments moro accurately and intelligently, re-
sulting in reduction of appeals and giving the public first hand in-
formation when requested. It will also improve the building pormit
system, as these records will bo re-arranged and brought up to date.
This information will also be of groat value to building in-
spectors as it will show obsolete and dilapidated buildings, in ad-
dition to exposing fire hazards. It will also bo valuable from a san-
itation standpoint as it will show up undesirable and unsanitary con-
ditions.
The City of Trenton delegated one of its permanent ompleyoes to
assist in the work, and subsequently appointed five additional men for
538

survoying and investigating buildings in cooperation v/ith the Y/. P. A.
personnel of this project .
Due to financial conditions the City of Trenton could not alone
finance this project and therefore had to depend on Fodoral aid of the
V* P. A. to obtain this valuable data and bring its old records up to
date.

PURPOSE OF PROJECT
To mako a survey of the major County Roads in Burlington County
to determine their present relation to the original roturns as formerly
ostablishod, as well as their relation to abutting properties.
FACILITIES
(A) A force of two field crews (not complete to date) rnd two
draftsmen.
(B) Office space and field equipment contributed by tho Burling-
ton County Engineers Office.
(C) Data relative road returns, vacations and abutting property
descriptions furnished by W. P. A. Project 7-281.
PROCEDURE,
Establish a contorlino of the roads banod on a combination of
original returns as filed, property stones found and physical conditions
or. the ground. Upon this build a topographical survey showing existing
c-n lit ions in relation to the filed width of road but keeping in mind
tho possibility of wiioning, especially on tho curves.
PROGRESS TO DATS
At the request of the County Engineers Office, work was started
on the road from Mt. Holly thru Lumber ton and Hedford to Atsion. A
center lino )f this road has boon established for r. distance of 24,500'
southerly from the Mt. Holly Township line and all detail for a dist.nco
of 33 feet each side of the contorlino accurately located. This is being
plottod in the jfficc as tho field work progrossos.
340
Survey Roads & Highways - Countywide. (Cont'd.)
It was found not only difficult but impossible to make satis-
factory comparison betv/een the road as existing and the returns estab-
lished years. ago. Both courses and distances varied beyond compati-
bility. Tho same was found regarding the property corners. Corners
supposed to lie in tho center of the old road were found to be entirely
off tho present right of way or else so much off the prosent travelled
and surfaced way as definitely to eliminate the possibility of construct-
ing a road according to them.
At the present writing, the plan is to establish a centerline
satisfying the data available and conditions on the ground and to this
tie as many property lines as possible. If, upon assembling and plot-
ting this information changes or adjustments seem advisable, such will
be mado. All P.I.'s or tangent intersections are being permanently marked
in tho field by tin blinkers and spikes with suitable ties so that any
one of them can be found without difficulty.
The actual survey on the road progresses more rapidly than that
of finding tho property stones and establishment of property linos.
There will, therefore, bo periods when no actual advance on the road
can be reported, all or most of the timo being spont on roc onnais sane o
and locating stones.

existing monuments relating to street property lines. This Project was
put into operation on Novombor 4th, 1935 and sinco that time has boon
operated to chock up the block lines, street locations, and bench marks
in the City of Gloucostor. It has boon necossary in this Project to
check up the old doods of properties throughout tho City and to run linos
as a check against the lines shown in these doeds.
Tho rocord3 of Gloucoster City, which is one of the oldest mun-
icipalities of Southern Nov/ Jorsoy , are very old and vague, and it is
tho purpose of this Project to bring all these records and surveys up-to-
dato, so that Gloucester City ma.'V have an authoritative map which will
show true property lines and bench marks.
Tho office personnel check the records in the Roc order of Doods
Office and tho field parties verify theso rocords by outside survey!
Much progress has boon made in this work, but due to the uncertainty and
vagueness of the rocords, it has taken considerable time in verification
work and tho Project will run for some months to come for comploto and
accurate map3 and records. When this Project is finished, Gloucostor
City vail have authentic rocords which will enable property owners to
have accurate surveys made at a nominal cost and will also eliminato
numerous discrepancies which have croppod up from t ime to time.

The pole survey conducted by T.T.P.A* included measurements
to locate all the poles and posts along the city streets and the draw-
ing of maps accurately showing all these poles and posts.
The completed maps are now used in the city engineering offices,
particularly in planning changes in the streets lighting system.
One of the facts determined by this survey was that there were
158 old trolley poles along the streets which wore no longer in use.
The trolley company has been asked to remove these poles and this work
is now in progress. The appearance of the streets is thus being mater-
ially improved.
This project has been completed.

This project, known as the City of Millville Boundary Survey,
is being sponsored by the City and the headquarters are at the office
of the City Engineer, who is superintending the work.
The objdet of the survey is to determine the true location of
the Township Linos forming the limits of the City and to mark the said
lines with permanent workable monuments of stone or concrete appropria-
tely marked.
This project is of very groat importance to the City of Millville.
It has been almost impossible to detornri.no just how much land lies within
the City limits. With the Township lines accurately determined, we will
be able to know the acreage of all properties adjacont to the lines. Our
assessments necessarily were not correct, with our tax maps incomplete.
Just recently a manufacturing plant v/hich has been paying taxes to tho
City of Millville, found that it lies in the Township of Landis. The
monument od line will bo usod to tie in properties, Tnd will later be ad-
justed to tho coordinate systom of the State of Now Jorsoy.
The survey party consists of a chief of party, an instrument man,
two rodmen, two chainmon, and five axemen. The total length of the linos
to be established is 28 miles, ]18 of which are on land, and tho r omaindor
along streams.

This project is being sponsored by the City of i.allvillc, the
headquarters are at the office of the City Engineer who is supervising
the work. It is known as the City of Millvillo Tax liip Survey*
The v/ork consists in redrawing many of the original large tax
map shoots, from which the finished shoot is copied. The former in
many cscs are in such shap:. , that, without revamping, thoy~.ro unfit
for use. I.hny t racts have been suo-dividod, and theso must be placed
on the tax map shoets.
The most important part of tho work consists in working up about
15,000 record cards each of which contains a history of a particular
property in the City. Tho card 3hows tho names of tho different o\/nors
for years back. In other words, when this work is done, we will have a
brief search of oach tract in the City of Millvillo. The information
is most valuable and is usod daily by many citizens; the City Clerk is
c instantly tracing back over the records to determine tho owners of
certain properties for his tax search. Tho great value of the work which
is being done in this project is surely appreciated by those who must
use the information.
In the City Engineer's Office arc locatod one draftsman who works
on the naps and one clerk ong god in the preparation ?f the tax record
cards. Two men are v irking in the County Clerk's Office at Bri-'goton in .
making abstracts of deeds for use in preparing the cards.
This work cannot bo done in a grc-.t hurry as everything must be
done carefully and accurately, iluch progress however is being made.

The disposal of sanitary sowa&o oarly receivod the attention of
far seeing property owners of Bridgeton, Nov; Jorsoy. As early as 1894
privately constructed and privatoly maintained sanitary sowers woro making
their appearance Practically all those discharged directly into the tide
water of the Cohansoy River.
Increasing domand for such facilities, togothor with the regulations
imposod by the State Board of Health eventually nocossitatod concortod
public action. Accordingly, practically all the existing private sani-
tary sowers wore taken over by the municipality in 1912, and such now
linos woro constructed under a municipal contract as would servo the moro
contrr;lly located and most thickly populated sections of the City.
As new soctions of the City bocame dovolopod, tho demand for san-
itary sewer linos havo beenextondod in every diroction. Today it is
possible for approximately 95/£ of the homos and manufacturing plr.nts to
havo those facilities.
The City of Bridgoton covers an area of about 6^ square miles.
Population of approximately 16,000. With moro than 60 railos of improved
Btroots.
Unfortunately no mppa or rocords are available showing tho lo-
cation, size and depth of tho first constructed private linos, and oven o f
tho subsequent linos which havo been constructed by the city, the maps
and records aro very meager in a groat many instancos. No complete record
of all the sanitary linos exists.

dertaken as ;7. P. A. Project #9-6-5017. This project also calls for tho
making of a similar map of tho Municipal water distribution system. Tho
project was started Ihrch 4th, 1936, but has boon discontinued.
Tho work on tho sanitary sower map involvod a thorough checking
of such former maps as now oxist, coordinating the notes in the various
engineer field books and a completo inspection and exhaustive study of
tho entiro existing sanitary sewer lines.
The sewer map having a size of 4 feet x 6 foot, and drawn to a
scale of one inch oquals 300 foot, when finished will provide a conploto,
accurato and comprehensive representation of all tho sanitary sewer fac-
ilities in Bridge-ton, a graphic picture of tho ontiro system and terri-

The National Archives were created by Act of Congress June 19,
193^* The Act empowers the Archivist of the United States "to inspect
personally or by deputy the records of the United States Government
whatsoever and wheresoever located." Under this authorization the Na-
tional Archives is now completing a Survey of the unnublished Federal
documents located in every state of the Union.
Like other W.P.A. projects, one purpose of this Survey is to
provide useful work for many of the unemployed of the United States - -
historians, political scientists, economists, lawyers, librarians, tea-
chers, statisticians, and others. The purpose of the cooperating spon-
sor, The National Archives, is to secure information of value for that
institution, for other agencies of the United States Government, and for
students. It is seeking to ascertain the exact location, the volume,
and the conditions of storage of Federal Archives; to identify them as
regards their contents; and to furnish other information which may be of
assistance in the formulation of recommendations designed to insure
their safe preservation and to facilitate their use by officials and
students.
In New Jersey the survey is being conducted from four offices.
Unpublished Federal Records located in Federal Agencies are being exam-
ined and classified. The records in about thirty-five towns have been
surveyed by the workers operating from the Headquarters office alone.
Not only have sixty-one people been gainfully employed but their work
will undoubtedly be of great value to the National Archives.

This Survey was started November 21,1935 under Works Progress
Administration's control after it had been operated by C.W.A. and E.R.A.
since December 23,1933.
Its purpose is to provide new triangulation stations, breaking
down the larger triangles established by the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey,
to transfer inaccessible points to accessible ground points and to run
traverses between triangulation stations.
The data obtained in this work are used to establish a permanent
horizontal and vertical control for all future engineering and survey
work within the State. In the past most every county or municipality or
even most of the private engineering practitioners had their own system
of vertical control and in no case was there a horizontal control which
made possible the comparison of location or elevation of engineering
work or development lay-out. The most important feature of establishing
local controls, however, is the possibility of forever relocating any
point or property tied in to the co-ordinate System which the State of
New Jersey has established by Act of Legislature Chapter 116 P.L. of
1935. This act entitled "An Act to establish a system of land boundary
descriptions" establishes the so-called "New Jersey System of Plane
Coordinates" which is the basis of all horizontal control work. All
State and Federal Agencies including Army and Navy will in the future
use this system for describing the location of any of their proposed or
existing works in this State, as coordinates can be made available for
public use.
The use of this coordinate system is made possible and facilitated
360
"by the traverses run between triangulation stations. In running these
traverses, great care is used in the selection of their location and in
the measurement of angles and distances. Angles are measured 48 times
and the closing error cannot exceed eight seconds. Distances are meas-
ured on chaining stools. Temperature for each 100 ft. while the tape
is held at a tension equal to a pull of 22 lbs. controlled by a spring
balance. Along these traverses a pair of concrete monuments with brass
disks are set not more than two miles apart. In populated sections
with high land valuations, these monuments are set much closer.
Besides these monuments there are set along a traverse, monel
rivets about every half nile or closer where required. Then levels are
taken in order to obtain -the correct elevation of all monuments and
rivets. All field work is turned over to the computation office in
Princeton where copies of all data of completed work are now on file. Al]
computations must be approved by the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Bureau in
Washington, where the original computations are f iled. All work
must naturally meet the specifications laid down by the Bureau for
this type of work. Ordinarily this work would be done by the Bureau
in Washington and in this respect our work supplements and furnishes
a check on computations made by the Bureau which is very much interested
in the work done in New Jersey and apparently very much satisfied with
the quality of work done here. Right now we are using about a dozen
high-grade theodolites and precise levels, we have the loan of two
trucks and base measurement equipment for measuring a five mile first
order base line along the Central Railroad of New Jersey between
Rahway and Port Reading.
This work was started on December 23, 1933 by CWA and continued
by ERA. The total amount of traverse work done in the field to date is
1160 miles of which 800 miles are completed and adjusted and of which
500 miles have been forwarded and approved by the Washington Bureau.
There also have been run 1420 miles of levels for which tentative
elevations are ready.
Since WPA took this work over we have run 213 miles of traverses
of which 140 miles have been computed. There has also been run a total
of 250 miles of levels.
We are now operating with field parties in 20 counties - there
is none in Salem County - and one triangulation party. Right now field
parties are undermanned because of the" limitations imposed by the project
proposal under which we operate and because of the difficulty in hold-
ing Chainmen and Rodmen from relief rolls on the job at the low rates
paid in the smaller counties.
Prom figures given above it is at once clear that the project
is only partly completed. In order to nake results of our work
available, it will be necessary, to complete not only field work necessary
to close loops and traverses on which each field party is working now,
but computations for all of this have to, be finished and approved before
the results can be made available for public use.
Our data are very much in demand as the some 150 requests for

in salaries and to provide traverse work in those counties where so
far no traverse work was done because the personnel was only sufficient-

They have been doing this work particularly in connection with WPA
Projects.
We are constantly submitting new Projects and the entire work
for the 17 institutions, in the State, is handled from the Central
Office. We have completed the boundary surveys at Rahway Reformatory,
Menlo Park Soldiers ' Home and the boundary survey for the State Home
for Girls is about 90$ complete. A portion of the boundary at Woodbine,
that was in doubt, has been resurveyed and established. A Portion of
the boundary survey is being completed at the Bordentown Prison Farm,
but there yet remains much work to be done there.
Since, recently, approximately 120 additional acres of land
have been purchased, it is the intent to survey this tract. These
people have also been engaged in establishing lines for sidewalks,
roads and grading being done by WPA labor at the Jamesburg Home for
Boys, Menlo Park Soldiers1 Home, Annandale Reformatory, and the State
Hospital at Trenton; making preliminary surveys for building constr-
uction at various institutions; making preliminary survey for the WPA
Drainage Project at Clinton Reformatory for women.
They have done considerable work, on the maps at the State
Hospital at Trenton, bringing them up to date, and they have also
made a new map of Clinton Reformatory. It is estimated that about six
months will be required to complete this work.

Although the T7PA project known as the New Jersey State- Planning
Board was scheduled to "begin on Nov.l, 1935, it did not go into actual
operation until Dec. 3, 1935, when assignment of personnel was connenced.
The project's task involves a number of diversified surveys and studies
being presented in the form of naps and charts. The following list of
assignments has been completed since the project first became operative
under the WPA:~
A map showing the Natural Habitat of Game and Game Fish
throughout the State.
A map showing Events in the History of the State having some
economic or other significance of its development.
A study of part time or seasonal industries existing in the
State,
A survey of financial conditions of certain classes of

This project was initiated by the CWA and continued by the
Emergency Relief Administration until the necessity for terminating
some of the activities of the Administration in November 1935. The
Works Progress Administration authorized continuance of the project in
January 1936. Since that time, the project has progressed actively and
with an organisation in all the counties of the State but four. As
this project is of a highly technical character, those holding execu-
tive positions and those acting in a supervisory capacity in the counties
are all technically trained men. The morale of the personnel is excell-
ent and as a result, we may feel proud of the conscientious, sincere
and effective work which has resulted.
Briefly, the survey comes under two classifications:
A* Pavers and streams above tidal water.
B. Tidal streams, ocean front and inland waterway.
The objectives of this survey are:
1. Preparation of complete data on water sources and their value
as potential water supply.
2. Preparation of data indicating the areas flooded at various
high water levels and the method of preventing this flooding
and curtailing mosquito breeding areas.
3. A study of stream or river pollution with a record of the
size and location of -ill sewers and drains with a description
of their character.
3STF
4. A study of the flow area of all bridges and restricting str-
uctures that tend to back up the water in time of flood.
5. To prepare an accurate survey of the various streams and rivers
as to both location and levels. This is particularly valuable
in the determination of boundary lines and the solution of
all problems having to do with the streams, the revision of
tax map3 and general maps of State, counties, etc.
6. With the cross sections and profiles of the stream, it is pos-
sible to determine the amount of water available at any depth,
and at any point, and to determine the velocity of the stream
at that point and its carrying capacity at various water
level 3.
7. A study of the conditions along the bonks that might endanger
health.
8. The fact that this survey is tied in with the Coast & Geodetic
Survey and is made with extreme accuracy gives our ?;ork an
assurance of permanence and confidence in the' correctness of
these records.
9. To furnish data regarding our streams and waterways to any
commission or government agency or research body.
10. To pompile complete study of mean, high and low water contour
lines of all tidal waters with a factual study of beach
erosion and conservation.
11. ■ Preparation of maps showing land narks, piers, bulk heads and
other prominent objects throughout the territory.
You nay say that until the inception of this project, there
were no records available showing the location of streams. Demands
have been made to estimate the mileage of shore lino and of streams in
the State but without reasonable success. The best estimate indicates
that there are 1200 nile3 of shore line and 8000 niles of streams.
The survey of these streams is carried on somewhat in accordance with
the urgency of- demands for data. V/e have at present, requests for
450 miles of survey along the ocean and have completed 198 niles. Of
the 8000 miles of streams throughout the State, it is considered
3760 miles should be surveyed at this time, of which 670 miles have
been completed. At the present tine, this mileage is being rapidly-
increased.
The staff of engineers and assistants have carried on a very
effective survey of some of our largest streams, and we hope that the
project may continue until completion of this survey is an accomp-
lished fact.

Project #ST-5059 was inaugurated January 6, 1936 with an
appropriation of $683,000r00, providing 669 employees and 86 offices.
On January 31,1936 the appropriation was reduced to $653,828.00,
resulting in a reduction of personnel and offices and curtailment
of expected activity.
This project is designed to energize and increase the normal
flow of private capita], and to stimulate recovery in the employment
of labor in the building and allied trades. It will provide for the
setting up and maintaining of eighty-six local offices of the New
Jersey State Department of Labor under competent and trained manage- .
ment in strategic locations. The accomplishment of this organization
will be to provide information to the public concerning the procedure
to be followed in making repairs and improvements to their properties
or in undertaking of new home construction and to assist the public in
arranging financing where required. All employees will be carefully
instructed and thoroughly versed properly to inform the public concern-
ing the correct procedure to be followed in making repairs and improve-
ments to their properties or in undertaking new home construction and
to assist the public in arranging financing where required. This
project could very well be termed self-liquidating, inasmuch as the
results to be obtained under this project will very definitely remove
a great many people from the relief rolls, thus lightening the govern-
mental burden in this respect. In undertaking the work contemplated,
by this project and its procedure, there is no house to house canvass-
ing.
To carry on the educational program the project was divided into
4 departments, viz: (a) Publicity (b) Architectural (c) Circularization
(d) Field.
The publicity department has secured numerous articles in news-
papers throughout the State regarding the activities of these Bureaus.

The architectural department designs the layout of various
offices and assists numerous prospective borrowers in planning their
work.
The circularization department since January 7 has dispatched
750,000 letters, circulars, etc. to owners and lessees of real property*
The field department makes a survey of vacant lots and districts

The State Bureau of Vital Statistics was established in 1878 as
, The Custodians Office for V ital Statistics records under a new law
which made compulsory the registration of births, marriages, and deaths
by physicians, clergymen, and undertakers,, respectively.
Mr, David S. South, Chief of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of
the Dept. of Health, estimates that only between 60 and 70$ of the
births in 1848 to 1878 were registered, Prior to 1848, there was no
official registration legally required for births, marriages, and
deaths in New Jersey. A few municipalities kept records sporadically
but what Vital Statistics records were obtainable were taken mainly
from Church Records registers. Of the Half Million birth entries
listed by W.P.A. project workers, for the 1848 to the 1878 period,
Newark has 61,000 entries, Jersey City has 33,000, Camden and Trenton
have 14,000. When we have completed the re-indexing of the half-million
birth records, from 1848 to 1878, work will begin on the re-indexing
of the State's birth records, from 1878 to 1900, in accordance with
the approved system used in the health department in recent years.
These records are estimated to be approximately 650,000. There are
21 W*PoA« workers of whom 11 are male, and 10 are female.
To date 501,000 index cards have been prepared and about 300,000
cards checked and arranged in alphabetical order by first two letters
of surnames. Around 100,000 additional cards have been checked and are
being arranged alphabetically.
The compilation and indexing of these old birth records are
especially valuable to the State Health Department officials at
this time because of the hundreds of requests for birth statistics
that have been coming into the Trenton office from persons in all
parts of the State who wish to establish their eligibility for
Federal and State old-age assistance grants. This group of persons,
born within the years of 1848 and 1878, would be in the class of
eligibles for these grants.

The project employs 35 clerk typists and 30 Assistant Librarians,
all females, assigned to work at Board of Education Administration Bldg. ,
South Stockton St., Trenton, N.J. and the Central High School, Junior
High School No.l, Junior High School No. 3, Junior High School No. 4,
and 24 Elementary schools of Trenton, N.J.
The Clerical Personnel on this project has been performing Clerical
Work for the Various schools in connection with the upkeep of such
records as have been curtailed due to insuff icient ' funds.
The Public School Libraries were being neglected on account of
lack of funds which they were unable to secure because of financial
curtailment. Thousands of books were greatly in" need of repair. This
work in repairing these library books is being done by 30 Assistant Lib-
rarians, all females assigned to this work. This work was valuable to
the Board of Education, due to the fact that thousands of these books
would have to have been discarded. To June 1,1936, they have repaired
34,500 books which can be now used throughout the Public schools for
educational purposes. This personnel has recorded 990,000 school books
for the distribution of the entire school system of the City of Trenton.
The Hf.P.A. Personnel has also compiled old school reports that were
necessary to be brought up to date which numbered 510,220 reports.
This project has employed many females who were on relief, and
were unable to secure productive work elsewhere. In addition to
their employment, it has given them sufficient experience, to enable
them to secure employment in the future.
This project has benefited the Board of Education in assisting
in bringing up the Educational System to a point of normal efficiency.

At Borough Hall, Princeton, the Tax Records and Card Index System
of the Assessor's Office are being completely revised under a W.P.A*
Project which is nearing completion.
Cards showing the owner* location and description of Property,
size of lot, assessed value of Land and buildings and items of exemption
are being compiled. The Block and Lot number as well as a drawing of
the lot to scale from the Borough map are also shown. In other words,
the Assessor will have before him at a glance a complete record of every
property in the Borough including those assessed and those exempt.
A new Property Ownership Book is also being compiled, giving the
ownership of every property either by block number from the Borough
map or by the name of the owner alphabetically listed. In addition,
a loose leaf field book for use of the assessor is being made up.
Interesting statistics are being compiled showing the total
assessment and the number of owners of Real Property (those owning land
and, or buildings); the number of persons owning one or moreproperties,
classified; as well as the total and averaged assessment in each group.
Princeton is, therefore, having a very valuable piece of work
done; W.P.A. meeting the cost of the services of the Personnel and the
Borough paying for any materials used.
1910 Records have been revised, reindexed, catalogued and

A survey was complc ted in connection with the 7,239 physically
handicapped boys and girl . 14 years of age and over in an endeavor
definitely to ascertain how mazy ™ere or would be in need of vocational
guidance and training "befitting their handicap.
The information secured through the survey was transferred from
the investigating sheets to our permanent records.
Alphabetical cardswere also made of all cases.
Many of the cases had moved with the result that they were trans-
ferred from one district to another.
Those that had died or were no longer physically handicapped were
removed from our records.
In connection with those that had moved to another state, the
information was forwarded to the proper officials thereby permitting
the case to receive continued treat aent, care, and attention.
The names of the fathers and mothers were also listed on the
index cards thereby permitting us to check the case more accurately in
the event of their moving from one district to another and then listing
the case as a new one.
Status of the case was listed on the card indicating need of
training or if the case was in training.
All cases in need of vocational guidance and training were
directed for the attention of the Hon. John J. Toohey, Director N.J.
Rehabilitation Commission, 1060 Broad Street, Newark, N.J.

The worie accomplished will be of great value to the Commission
in maintaining an accurate and complete record of each and every physically
handicapped boy and girl. It will also materially assist the Commission
in guiding and directing each case for proper care and attention.

This project actively commenced on January 21,1935, and ift-
volves clerical service for two office workers.
These workers were assigned to the Barber Registration Division
of this Department and have been engaged in sorting, comparing and filing
thousands of barber certificates and permits and thousands of reports
of sanitary inspection of barber shops.
Because of the pressure of work, it had been impracticable for
the regularly employed personnel of this Division to sort and file
these forms in such a manner that they are readily available for
comparison and checking.
Up to this time as result of this project, files of barber
certificates have been set up by municipalities throughout the State
and certificates have been checked resulting in locating several
unrestored certificates which have since been reported and issued.
Also as the result of the assistance rendered by these workers
it has been possible to address and send out to about 9,000 barbers in
New Jersey, forms upon which they may apply during July for renewed
barber certificates or permits.
In general, the work performed by these workers has placed our
files in the Barber Registration Division in such form that they can be
readily checked thus facilitating the work of the Department and making
it possible for persons desiring lists of registered barbers in any
county of the State to secure such a list by reference to our records.

The attendance and enrollment records have been corrected,
this having been necessitated by the varying transliterations used
by the children of foreign born families. All the application in-
formation blanks have been checked for omissions and for contra-
dictory information as a basis for new questionnaires concerning
hereditary factors, cause and onset of deafness etc.
Courses of study for the academic, vocational and physical
education departments have been analysed into units which are
tentatively arranged into a progression. These must be checked by actual
reports on the children and the administration of a wide range of
standardized educational measures. Several standardized tests have
been modified to suit the needs of these handicapped children,
preparatory to their administration. The course of study is being
correlated, unit by unit, with the courses of study of six other deaf
schools to determine the degree of standardization feasible in records.
A comprehensive inventory system has been installed so as to permit a
perpetual inventory system and a cost acoounting system that can be
maintained after completion, as part of the routine household records.

Description and work involved from start:
This project has meant a considerable saving to tho Stato through
binding our old records in book form that were heretofore kept in filing
cabinets. It has resulted in a saving of 68/£ of floor spaco heretofore
used by these cabinets. These records are now bound in book form and
kept on shelves built above tho cabinets which make for ready access as
each volume is indexed on the outer binding. It has eliminated tho nec-
essity for continually purchasing new cabinets as tho older records taken
from the cabinets make those cabinets available for the latost records.
This work has proven especially beneficial in both tho Motor Vohiclo and
Highway Departments .
Attached herov/ith is the regular chart showing in detail tho
progress of the work on this project.

This project shows specific utilization of the milk and/or cream
produced in the State of New Jersey or imported for consumption within
the State .
In the offices of the New Jersey Milk Control Board records have
teen filed each month since the inception of the Board, in 1933 » showing
the quantity and value of milk and/ or cream produced and sold within the
State and/or imported for sale and consumption in the State. These
reports are required from each derler, and producer-dealer, approximately
1200, each month.
The work of the project is to "break down these recorded figures
to show the actual utilization and value of the milk and/ or crer:m pro-
duced «r.ii sold in the State and/or imported for sale and consumption
within the State.
There have "been various studies and statistical compilations made
in the past to endeavor to show the quantity and value of the milk and/or
cream produced in New Jersey and its subsequent utilization, together with
the quantity and value of milk and/or cream required from outside the State
to meet the needs of our people, but this project has furnished for the
first time in the history of the State the accurate facts and figures
which are of inestimable value to the entire dairy industry.
It is hoped that this work may be continued permanently as the
dairymen of the State have invested approximately one hundred million
dollars in cattle, buildings and necessary equipment for the production
of clean and wholesome milk and cream and other dairy products. With
this tremendous investment in mind it is felt that the people of the
State, exclusive of the dairymen and those directly connected with the
industry, are entitled to basic facts.

been neglected for years, and substitute new and better ones when and
where necessary. The major points included in this program arc as
follows:
1. Pupil He cords
2. Teacher Records
3. General Office Piling
4. Equipment Records
5. Textbook Records
6. Supply Records
iflc started with the pupils' records first since these had been
sadly neglected for yerrs, ,and were in serious need of re-organization,
completion, and substitution of a now and better system. This part
of the work has been very difficult and the greater part of the time
thus far has been devoted to this phase of the project.
The following is a brief outline of the work to date (dating

had to he checked or marked and data prepared for each set of tests
according to standardized requirements suitable for use so as to be
of value after being recorded. This has proven to be tine well spent
because we have been able to assemble some of the finest data which
was necessary in analyzing, guiding, and advising pupils in their
school work and correcting their difficulties. In addition to this
work, approximately fifteen hundred office record cards of the National
School Record System have been carefully chcckel and complete 1, which
is a huge task in itself.
She pupil records arc about seventy-five percent completed.
Considerable work has been completed on the teachers' records and a
fair start has been nr.de on the equipment. Nothing has been done so

This project started on November 12, 1935 and called for the
employment of one senior clerk, capable of doing warehouse accounting
and one stenographer-typist.
The present Commanding Officer of the New Jersey State Arsenal,
having taken command in November, 1934, and the Corps Area concentra-
tion of troops coming as it did in the summer of 1935, he found that the
then existing system of warehousing and accounting was extremely inadequate
and obsolete. Consequently, he laid pirns for its improvement, consist-
ing of a completely now arrangement of shipping and receiving facilities
and storage, a new inventory system, and a new warehouse accounting system.
It was found that money and material were available for any cons-
traction or materials incidental with his plans, but was not available for
the maintenance thereof at the present time, thus the project came into
being.
The first job started was the .annual Arsenal inventory, taken by
a revise! system. Then, the new system of warehouse accounting was set
up for operation. This system consists of six volumes entai ling approxi-
mately four thousand different articles of Federal property carried in
Arsenal stock, .and recording three different Arsenal departments* TTork
to this point was completed about March 31st.
During the period between inventory and Llarch 31st, Arsenal ware-
house accounting was at a standstill so it was now necessary to catch up
on all transactions to date. This has not been completed as yet, but work
is progressing well and it is expected that the books will be up-to-date
in the near future.

This T7. ?. A. Project for the indexing of "borough records and
employing one nan and two women was st-rtod on November IB, 1935.
.It that tine the files of the Borough -ore found to "be in very
poor condition. Personal correspondence, as well as papers pertaining to
the Borough, -.-.-ore packed in the Borough Files •■ "id safe. Perriission was
obtained from the St ".to Department in Trenton t destroy a great mount of
this useless correspondence. The Borough bought 150 hop,vy nanila envelopes
for filing purposes. She various items, correspondence, bonds, insurance,
etc., wore then separated and filedin their respective departments. This
necessitated the handling and rchandling of papers a. groat many tines.
All matters of correspondence, bonds, insurance and departments connected
-:ith the borough, up-to-date, arc now properly filed.
The Borough index bock is now in the making, rpproxinately two
Billion words having been type.'1- toward its completion.
The personnel of this project has co-operate! in every way with
the Borough officials and the praise received from the Mayor, Councilman
ml Borough Clerk as to the neatness and efficiency of the work is ample
assurance of the appreciation of the Borough for the Project and the !7orks
Progress Administration which nr.de it possible. .
The following is a quotation from the senior clerk working on the
project "3y co-operation with the borough and business like operation of
this project we try tc show our appreciation to our government, for giving
us an opportunity to do useful 7:ork and thereby retain our self-respect
r.s wage earners and useful citizens. By being engaged in constructive

When this project. was started, Novoribor 33, 1935, rro found the
correspondence concerning; the Hall of Nations had been carelessly dunped
into some old paper boxes. The pictures, objects of art, books, and sonc
of the flags received fron various states and foreign countries had been
piled into store rooms along vdth a quantity of trash.
3eforc anything could be done in the way of filing or cataloguing
it r/as necessary for us to separate the domestic and foreign letters, re-
arranging then alphabetically according to states and countries. Because
of the" junblcd up condition in Thich we found this natcrial our progress
Tras' considerably delayed.
While some of the workers v^ere engaged in segregating the cor-
respondence, the balance employed their tine locating the nore than
1,000 gifts presented to the City of Asbury Park. This has been completed
and each object has been given a number in order that it may be aorc cosily
identified with the correspondence concerning it. Each article also has
a card attached to it setting forth the title, donor, .and source. The
total inventory of articles in the Hall of Nations, liuseun and Art Gallery
as of this date is 1,035.
TTc have established an accession book, in vhich each gift has
been numerically listed, stating That the article is, the title, the donor,
and from what state or country it was received. Tfith this accession book
r:o have sot up a cross reference card index.
In this index vrc have four sections!
Section one is for the nunber card. The number on this
card corresponds ruth that previously given the
article. The subject .and donor arc also named
on this card.

Twelve clerical workers have boon employed. on this project sup-
plying the different health centers and health department offices in tho
county 77ith clerical work for the nursing services.
The following is the type of work -which thoy have done. It is
varied in nature and has been exceedingly valuable to the health of the
community especially by releasing the # public health nurses from a great &
deal of their clerical work and giving them more time to do the type of
work which only trained nurses can do.
Revision of the files.
Typewriting and filing all official forms for admission to
state institutions, county institutions, tuberculosis clinics,
mental hygiene clinics, baby welfare clinics, etc..
Piling of material relative to above types of work.
Assisting in studies on Tuberculosis, health services, diphtheria

All the clerical workers cnployed on this project have "been

very nuch indeed. They have "been a godsend to the overworked public
health nurses and health officers in the districts in. which they work
riid as stated rbove , . hr.ve enabled the regular staff workers to do a
better piece of work and trke cr.ro of. the increased load which they hrvc
had in the last year. All the project workers have been kept busy on
legitimate work rnd hr.ve received experience and training which ought
to equip then better for positions in the future. It is hoped that sonc

Approximately 5000 plans of city buildings turned over to us by the
City of Asbury Park have been folded and titled.
The plans for which building permits were issued have been
folded, titled, filed and an index typed for the years 1920 to 1923
inclusive.
Detailed information was furnished for State Guide W.P.A.
Mr. Haisser, computing the estimated cost of all public buildings,
bridges, parks and other accessories.
An area consisting of a strip of land from the ocean to the
railroad, approximately 350 feet wide and three-quarters of a mile long,
has been measured and detailed for a park development for the city.
The plans have been corrected to bring this area up to the revisions
made.
A revised building code and plumbing code, the former not
revised since 1911 and the latter not since 1906 have been typed and
will be ready for submission to the city mayor and council within
another six weeks.
Other incidental items of research, design and filing requested
by the local authorities have been undertaken by this project.
The principal handicap that this project has been under has
been lack of municipal funds for equipment which as far as we can
ascertain is due to this city being under financial supervision of the
State and although willing are unable to finance some of the necessary
equipment. In my opinion this is not lack of appreciation for Federal
Aid but due to an inability to expedite those items which are surely
forthcoming.
424
The attitude of the personnel engaged >n this project has
been aost loyal and coapetant and they all feel that something worth
while has been accomplished.

This project has been in operation since December 5th, 1935
and the v/ork involves the bringing up to date back records and various
reports, such as Progress and Attendance reports of over 6,000 pupils,
indexing and typing Index of School Board Minutes and Records fron 1894,
Detailing Operation, Repair and Replacement costs covering fourteen schoo
and nine portable buildings over a period of five years.
The Progress and Attendance reports of the 6,000 pupils cover a
study of each pupil by grade and age from four years up t o nineteen years
old, the number of years each pupil has been attending school and a rec-
ord of their progress by class grade. The compiling of this data in-
volves about 34,000 separate items.
The Indexing of School Board Minutes and Records covering a per-
iod from 1894 to date, comprised about 2,500 items. This indexing has
boen done by subjocts and data typed on cards for card indox for quick
roference when information is requested as to former action or prece-
dence established.
The analysis and break down of Operation as woll as Repair and
Replacement costs of the fourteen schools and nine portable buildings
involved the detailing of about 4,000 items over the five year period.
The break down showed the cost by each c lass of work performed and a
separation of such cost botwoon labor and material; also who performed
the v/ork, and if by days work, giving hourly rate, or by contract. Tho
work done on each school or portable building was shown separately by

These records included the completion of the School Census which
was started by S.E.R.A. on August 31, 1931. Up to the tine that project
(2400-4-323) was started it was impossible for the office force to find
tine to complete the Census records from year to year. The clerks who
wore assigned to this project were able to obtain records of new births
by searching the files at the Perth Anboy, South Anboy pnd New Brunswick
hospitals and the files of the Recorder of Vital Statistics of Sayrcvillc,
IT. J.. The work in the hospitals required a long tine to complete but
it was done most satisfactorily. At the present tine the School Census
is in a completed form and the information desired from tine to tine is
easily obtained.
Each Census card requires a date of entry in the Sayrcvillc
Public Schools for each pupil enrolled, together with days present, days
.absent and reasons for absence for each year from 1933 to 1936 inclusive.
This, information was added to approximately 2,000 carls, the information
being obtained in old, separate record books requiring tedious research
work. This w-rk has been most satisfactorily done, making the records
complete and .accessible.

Project #2-66 maintains its headquarters in the Court House,
Jersey City, Nov; Jersey. It was started on January k, 1936, and it has
"been undertaking the indexing, rearranging, and compiling of the
County Engineering and Road Department contract and maintenance files.
It3 personnel, all of whom have "been taken from the relief
rolls, is classified as follows: four (h) intermediates (females),
one (1) intermediate (male), and one (l) skilled (female).
A project of this type was greatly needed in that the files
of the County Engineering and Road Department were in great disorder.
This was due to the fact that the tremendous amount of work undertaken
by this department did not permit its employees sufficient time to
devote their energies tc that particular phase of the work. Now,
however, with the aid of the Works Progress Administration, all the
records are being carefully indexed and rearranged and a permanent
filing system is being established so that hereafter this work can
be handled with the utmost facility by the departmental employees.
Approximately twenty five percent of the project's work has
been completed to date.

recting chart numbers, refiling charts and keeping current filing up-
to-date; also replacing temporary clips with bras3 eyelets. Patient
cards for the years 192*+ to 1928 (approximately 60,000 cards) have
been typed and arranged properly in files. Cards for the years 1929
to 1933 (approximately 85; 000) with the exception of four (*+) trays
(about 14,000 cards), have been corrected, typed and arranged properly
in files. Over 18,000 charts have "been reviewed and furnished with now
type brass eyelets, in addition to all charts received in this depart-
ment since this project started on January 16, 1936. In keeping with
recent instructions, work was started cross-filing patient record cards
from 193*+ back to 192*+. This is done in three operations, namely;
classifying the history of the patient under the headings of "Attend-
Physician", "Diagnosis" and "Operation." This work progresses slowly
due to the amount of detail attached to it. However, the progress made
has met with commendation from the hospital authorities. The year 1935
has been arranged as above, and completed. Assistance is also being

The purpose of thin undertaking i3 to provide necessary work-
ing maps showing accurately the topography of approximately 9>000
acres of salt marsh in the County required for the laying out of
new drainage systems and the maintenance and possible corrections of
systems previously installed. The marsh land included in this project
comprises an area terminated by Bayonne on south, and Greenville
yards of Perm. P>.R. on north, Old Morris Canal on west, and Upper
New York Bay on east. In addition to the usual features, this
embraces the location of ditches, creeks, culverts, drain pipes,
dikes and tide gates. The maps now on hand are copies of very old
maps which have been shown in the field work of the Commission to be
inaccurate. This work is on public property in the County of Hudson.
Field work started on this project on June 8, 1936. From that
date to July 6th, the contour survey of approximately 960,000 sq. ft.
of area of land was made. The location of two possible courses of
approximately 2,200 feet each for the draining of ditch from old
Morris Canal to Upper New York Bay was established. The course of
lines staked out, with elevation recorded every 100 feet on two
drawings entitled "Profile of Draining Ditch for Morris Canal".
(Profile ,,fA" and Profile V).
During the period of July 6th to July 30th, inclusive, the
area of land approximately 9*9^5*000 sq. feet was surveyed. Said
area extending east from Belleville Turnpike and 3800 lineal feet on

produce a disinfectant for State use. which can be used generally, is
active against pathogenic organisms when greatly diluted, is non-poison-
ous to human-beings when used internally and is cheaper than those on the
market, have been made.
As a base pine oil preparations, caster oil and other sulphonated
oils were made to which were added various quantities of cresylic acid,
ortho, para and meta-cresols and a number of other chemicals. The mixtures
were studied in relation to stability of emulsion and their phenol coeff-
icients.
The most promising mixtures were cresylic acid used to bolster the
oils. As an example: Pine oil containing 17$ cresylic acid, and small
amounts of sulphonated caster oil, oleic acid and sodium hydroxide, pro-
duces a disinfectant which kills within a short time, is cleansing, stable
and cheap.
Rosin preparations were made with substances such as cresylic
produced good disinfectants but not quite as satisfactory as the above
type of mixtures.
Several new substances such as mercresin, iodine chloride, etc.,
were made and tested. A vast amount of bacteriological as well as chemical
work was performed to produce effective stable mixtures and pure bacterial
cultures obtained for testing. The present work deals with perfecting the
best mixtures.

and ready for codification.
In addition to the work the project employees have made an index
of the 1933-34 tax duplicate and a list of delinquent tax payers. 'The co-
llector informs me that upwards of $70,000 was collected during the month
of May and gives credit for nearly 90$ of these collections to the
project workers1 notification by letter to the delinquent tax payers
from the list made up by them.
The five members of the Township committee with the Township
clerk and solicitor join in praising the work being accomplished, the
personnel obtained for the project and the Works Progress Administration
for making this work i^ossible.
This project shows no sponsor's contribution but I think mention
should be given of the fact that the Township committee has furnished a
large room fully equipped with three desks, chairs files and office
equipment including two typewriters and all the necessary stationery,
envelopes, paper, and books for codifying the ordinances. This represents
an actual cash expenditure of over $100.00 and the committee stand ready
to. buy any other materials deened necessary for the proper completion of
this work.

The project started January 27th, 1936. Duo to delay in
receiving supplies and printing actual work started on February 17th,
1936. Approximately two weeks after that were spent receiving
instructions from the Russell Index Supervisor who has specific re-
quirements for typing, longhand, abbreviations, etc. The work is at
all times under the direct supervision of the Russell Index Company
which is one of two companies whose indexes are preferred by the State
of New Jersey.
There has been an average of eighteen persons on the payroll
with twenty persons working at the present time. There are four
typists, thirteen record workers, and one sorter as the office
personnel now stands.
The index of each book is typed and checked, with each entry
in the index on an individual slip. The slips are then sorted to
page, compared with the records, recompared and rechecked. Each re-
cord book is therefore gone over at least five times to insure abso-
lute accuracy. Some books are gone over as many as seven times de-
pending on the clearness of writing in the book and the number of
errors found in the first three checks. The unit of work is "Line of
Probate Proceeding" and each entry typed from an index counts as a
line.
The records of the Surrogate's Office in this County from
1800 to 1935 are as follows: Probate and Letters, Testamentay,
Letters of Administration, Administration Bonds, Administration Bonds
eta, Guardian Bonds, Executors Bonds, Bonds for Sale of Land,
Special Bonds, Inventory of Assignments, Accounts, Receipts and Dis-
charges, Guardianship Administration, Letters of Guardianship,
Letters of Administration, Adoption of Minor Children, Rule to Limit
Creditors, Decree Barring Creditors, Collateral Inheritance Tax, Wills,
Orphans Court Minutes, Divisions, Enrolled Decrees, Inventories and

Considering that not a worker on the project had any previous

Heretofore Lawyers, and Title Searchers have had a difficult
task in the County Clerk's Office at Mount Holly, unraveling the
intricacies of property conveyances because the public records of the
Transactions were rated at 60% incomplete and inaccurate as to
Chri stain names and sur- names, at the time the re- indexing and catalogu-
ing workers went into action.
When the work is done the name of every person owning or having
owned land in Burlington County from 1765 to the present time and who
recorded it will be listed in the index. All the searcher will have to
do will be to consult the index, find the name he is looking for, and
along side the name will be the volume and page number of the deed re-
cord book, to which he will refer for the necessary information regard-
ing titles and other data. The old time title search long, tedious,
and often costly will be eliminated. There are 66 W.P.A. workers en-
gaged on the project. 40 of these are women and 26 men. 90% of the
personnel is taken from relief rolls.
The sponsors have contracted the services of the Russell
Indexing Compony at considerable expense in order to procure the most
up-to-date indexing system available.
Mr. L. C. Mingin, County Clerk of Burlington County, states:
"I take this opportunity in connection with the project covering re-
indexing in my office to advise you that I consider this project most
outstanding in this count;/ and one of most value. Each worker has a
clear understanding of his or her particular duties and h:;.e relationship
to the project as a whole. Each is conscious of the responsibility and
importance of accuracy in every detail. Thu work is progressing smoothly
with a well balancod organization and they are producing not only the

"building code now in effect in the City of Camden. This Project was start-
ed on November 6, 1935 *° carry on the work started under E.R.A, Project
H-F2-106. The present building code of the City of Camden is very vague,
indefinite and antiquated, having been prepared prior to 1900. The pro-
ject was started to build the new code up to modern types and conditions
as to building specifications. Each Article of the code is being prepared
after contact has been made with other Cities whose codes are up-to-date,
and also after investigation and consultation with the Fire Under-wr iters
and the virious building material manufacturers. The article is then appro-
ved by the City Committee consisting of the City Attorney, City Engineer,
and two well known Architects and Engineers.
^hen this revised code is completed, accepted and put into effect,
it is felt that Fire Insurance rat^s throughout the City may be decreased,
which will of course, made a groat saving to property owners.
Considerable progress has been made, but of course, the nature of
the work entails detailed study and analysis, and the date of termination
is as yet undetermined.

This W.P.A. Project calling for the installation of a complete cost-
accounting system for all schools in the City of Camden, was put into opera-
tion on November 21, 1935»
The field party consisting of two Accountants and two Clerks has
been taking inventory of all school appurtenances in the U2 schools in the
City of Camden. This information is being tabulated and card indexed so
that the Board of Education ha,s complete inventory of all materials on hand,
both in the Warehouses and the various Schools. This inventory when com-
pleted will eliminate duplication of orders for materials and will make it
possible for the Board of Education to transfer wanted materials from one
school to the qther, thereby giving them more definite control over
their operating budget.
When the inventory is completed a uniform cost-accounting system
will be scientifically set upt thereby giving the Board of Education
accurate information as to its necessary purchases and to aid in the
standardization of supplies, replacement cost of supplies and to determine
the obsolescence of the text books used in the various schools.

This Project was put into operation on February U, 1936» and the
work consists of a complete revision of the Records of the Water Depart-
ment as to the number of connections throughout the City of Camden.
The City has very fc\7 meters and water charges arc being made on
the basis of the number of taps per house. This information is being
collected by the Water Department and compiled, classified and indexed by
the Project workers.
The City ha,s been unable to make a complete check up for a number
of years due to lack of funds, and the results so far have shown a number
of discrepancies in their old records, which discrepancies in most casci
arc unfavorable to the City, as the property owner ha.s been undercharged
for his water service.
The Water Department has expressed it s appreciation of the work
that has been accomplished to date, and they feel that their revenue will
be increased thousands of dollars. No date of termination has been set,
and the project should operate for seven or eight more months.

all street lamps, measuring the quantity of light given "by each lamp with
■& illometer, determining the' effectiveness of illumination and the advis-
ability of relocating, changing strength, or removing some of the exist-
ing lamps.
The results to date have "been very satisfactory, in that, on
checking these lamps throughout the City it has been found that certain
recommendations as to change of size and other discontinuance or additions
in certain parts of the City, will give the City more efficient lighting
for considerably less money than it is now sponding.
The work has progressed along the original plans outlined, and the
workers are maintaining the schedule based upon the original estimate of
time necessary to complete the job, which completion date will be some

The Survey of Farm Labor Conditions is designed to test the
schedules prepared and the abilities of "white collar" relief clients to
gather and tabulate certain information. Upon the results of the survey
in New Jersey and a similar one in North Carolina are to be based recom-
mendations as to the feasibility of a similar Nation Wide Survey in
select counties. The information desired relates to the volume and dis-
tribution of employment on farms; wage rates and earnings and working
and living conditions of farm laboring classes; the education and occu-
pational experience, unemployment and migrations of these classes.
The projoct began in New Jersey on April 9*h with the placing at
work of the first group of 8 enumerators in Hunterdon County; 7 enumer-
ators were started in work in Monmouth County on April 13th and U more
on April 27 ti.; in Gloucester County 8 enumerators started work on April
15th.
The work of the enumerators is to go from farm to farm obtaining
data from Farm Operator and Farm Laborer with the use of prepared sched-
ules. They have gathered 207 1 Farm Operator and 17^3 Farm Laborer
schedules — total 381*+. The schedules obtained were sent to New Bruns-
wick where the first of a tabulating force began work on May 13th. The
enumerators' work in the counties was ended at various dates and the
enumerators were gradually discharged from May 23rd to May 29th. The
work of the tabulators will continue at New Brunswick until approximately
June 20th.
Under the terms of the appropriations for the project all work
must be completed by Juno 30th.

Task involved in Work & Details: Attention has been concentrated
on three subjects in particular.
' 1. The collection of data on soil analysis is constantly being
increased, and coincident ally the entire series of records is
being checked and verified. This involves the inspection and
comparison of between 300,000 and 500,000 items. As rapidly
as the checking is completed, the material will be prepared
for publication, and will be, so far as is known, the most
complete and detailed collection of soil analyses ever
prepared.
2. Hainfall and related matters, water balance, crop use, evap-
oration and transpiration, erosion, h-^.vo been the subject of
separate inquiry. It has seemed advisable to combine the
entire research in this field into an integrated and coordina-
ted study, if possible. After considerable scrutiny of
available material, a detailed study has been made of the
Connecticut Valley, from which study methods of procedure
have been determined which can be made applicable, with
slight modifications, to' the entire country. The report on
the Connecticut Volley, containing about 150 typed pages
and numerous graphs, will shortly be ready. This is
apparently the most complete study of precipitation, its
uses and ultimate disposition, that has ever been attempted.
A brief statement outlining the work follows:
561
PREPARE REPORT - INVENTORY PLANT POOD RESOURCES OF SOIL (Continued)
The drainage area of the basin has "been studied "by sub-
dividing the states and counties involved,
"Seasonal separation." A detailed study has "been nadc in
order to separate the seasons of this valley into reasonable
units having similar climatic and crop production conditions.
Rainfall records of twenty-two stations have "been employed
in determining the monthly, seasonal and yearly rainfall for
the fifteen year period covered "by the study. This number of
stations vb.3 found necessary for rainfall information, after
a survey covering five stations had been found insufficiently
accurate.
Crop production as reported for New Hampshire, Vermont and
Massachusetts, has been assigned by weighted average to this
valley for the purpose of studying evaporation, transpiration,
and moisture removal by crops.
Run-off. The mean, minimum and maximum run-off for fifteen
years for several stations has been studied with the final
choice of significant values obtained at Thompsonville, and
Sunderland, these being more representative of conditions of
the drainage area concerned. To date, all published averages
were made upon a yearly basis and the now method of studying
monthly and seasonal variations has been a vast undertaking.
The maximum run-off has been employed in an effort to determine
the erosion effects in the valley, while the minimum run-off
has been "used as an index of ground water conditions.
Wind velocity and prevailing direction have been summed by
monthly averages for the 15 year period for the two stations in
this area for which such information was available - (Concord,
N. H, and Northfield, Vt.)
In a similar manner excessive rainfall, temperature, humidity,
vapor pressure and sunshine data have \>een obtained from rather
incomplete records in an effort to coordinate crop production and
water losses with the climatological data.
In the progress of this work, nearly fifty new tables have
been assembled in order to treat the hydrology of this area in
comparison with various factors. Prom these tables, fifteen
graphs have been drawn; a large detail map and six large scale
charts have been made to explain and elucidate the conclusions
arrived at. Seven correlation studies have been made in order
to determine tho degree of relationship of the various factors
influencing crop yields, evaporation, transpiration, etc.
562
PREPARE REPORT - INVENTORY PLANT POOD .RESOURCES OF SOIL (Continued)
Other major drainage areas will "be studied as rapidly as
possible.
3, The first of the scries of fourteen monographs to contain the
results of the investigations of plant food resources of the
United States has "been prepared, and is now "being printed.
Numerous additions have been made to the entire series of
investigations, to keep all phases of the study revised. Several
smaller studies on minor related subjects have "been made also.
These arc completed with tabulations and graphs and will "be
used as illustrative material in the scries of monographs.

Cost of Producing Milk*
A study of the cost of producing milk conducted by the
Department of Agricultural Economics in cooperation with the Dcpartmcnt
of Dairy Husbandry of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station,
has been in progress since August 1933» This study has been made possible
through help given by the CWA, ERA and the V7PA,
The original report of the first year of this study was en-
titled ^Cost of Producing Milk in New Jersey,1' Junc 1935*
Through the aid of the TtPA, this project has been continued
up to the present time and since January 31» 193&* ^he ^-^ has given
assistance to the extent of approximately one-half of the total v/ork in-
volved in the transfer of data from the Dairy Herd Improvement Associa-
tions and the calculation of the individual costs for 90 farms located
throughout Nov; Jersey for the five months, November 1935 through March
1936.
The inpoxtancc of keeping this information up tc date nay
be recognized by the fact that there are changes from r.cnth to month
in the price of feed, which accounts for nearly one-half of the total
cost of producing milk as well as for other i corns such as the cost of
milk cows, -./ages paid labor, ctc3

It is hoped that this project can be continued as in the
past. This would not be possible without the help of the WPA..
TTholesale Prices of Vegetables on the New York Market ;-
This project embodies the tabulation of daily market
quotations of approximately 50 vegetables from the Producers' Price
Current. The Producers' Price Current is published by the Urner-Barry
Company and shows the daily range in price of individual vegetables.
The -period involved is from 1910 up through 1935.
The daily quotations for each week are averaged to give a
weekly average. In other words, when the project is completed, it is
planned to publish or mimeograph the weekly prices of these vegetables
from 1910 to 1935 inttlusive.
This entire project involves the tabulation and calculation
of weekly averages for a total of approximately 16,324 individual months.
At the present time this project is approximately 70 per cent completed.
During the period January 31, 1936 to date, a total of approximately 400
individual months have been completed by the TPA. Because of the detail
of working with individual days and weeks, this project requires a great
deal of time.
In the course of a year, vegetables from many different
states and countries are represented. It will require the transfer •
and calculation of these prices for approximately 4550 months in order
to complete the project.
It should be stated that the continuation of this project
is made possible only through the help of the WPA and it is hoped that
this work may be continued to the completion of the project.

Purposes: Survey of the clay resources of New Jersey,
exclusive of shales. Exclusive of the shales, which constitute about
one- third the surface area of the State, Now Jersey has large deposits
of high grade clays located in the central and southern portions of the
State. A belt of these clays extends from the Tfoodbridge district, in
Middlesex County, southwest across the State to the Delaware River
at Trenton. Isolated deposits of these clays also occur in the south-
ern part of the State. These clays constitute the most important
deposits on the Atlantio seaboard.
Survey of glass deposits in the State. New Jersey has important
deposits of white sand which have potential value for use in the manufac-
ture of a variety of ceramic products. (Exclusive of sand for cement and
concrete). Enormous deposits of high grade sands occur in the southern
and central portions of the State. High grade sands are being used to a
considerable extent in the southern part of the state in the manufacture
of glass ware. Important glass plants are located at Bridgeton, Vine-
566
K3SSARCH IN CSBAMICS (Continued)
land, Millville and Salem. In these localities, products such as
bottles of all kinds, scientific glass ware, etc., are manufactured.
In the manufacture of glass ware, silica sand constitutes about
70 per cent of the glass formula. In order to produce clears colorless
glass of high quality, pure sand is very essential. In the southern
part of the State, it is a practice to wash the sands in order to re-
move impurities present, such as loam, iron bearing minerals, etc. The
white sands in the southern part of the State are also used in the pro-
duction of pulverized silica or flint which finds use as a filling
material in the production of pottery, paint, soap, etc. Silica sand
is also used in the production of water-glass widely used in industry.
That the Work involves: Field work in securing samples of New
Jersey shales, clays and glass sands. Locating and extent of high grade
sand deposits previously not prospected,
Laboratory tests of clay samples from deposits previously not
utilized in the manufacture of clay products. Laboratory tosts of high
grade white sand taken from deposits. These tosts include: washing
tests, mechanical analyses, chemical analyses, experimental batches of
glass. Laboratory tests of various samples of New Jersey shales. These
tests will include making of lightweight aggregates for use in light
weight concrete for building construction, also in making drain tile,
brick, structural hollow tile and paving tile or brick.
This project was started on January Jl, 193&*
This project was undermaned from the beginning due to the lack
of ceramic engineers available.
Approximate work accomplished and description:
1. Gathering shale samples from the various parts of the State
of New Jersey.
2. Processing samples of New Jersey shales. Pressing same into
test pieces and burning in kiln. Laboratory tests of same.
Using New Jersey shales in an Sxtrusion Machine, de-airing
the shale and making drain tile, brick, structural hollow
tile, and paving tile or brick.
3. Testing New Jersey shale samples for color, texture and hard-
ness after burning.

(a) The standing of pupils who wero in grade VIII in all
schools of the county in Juno 1935,was conpe.rod with the
standing of the same pupils in thoir high school work
during the first half of the school year, 1935-36.
The records of 335 pupils wero tabulated for comparison
and study by the school principals of the county.
(b) In the work of making a survey of the educational stand-
ings of pupils in all grades for the present year the
workers on the project have examined and graded 2229
test booklets (447 in Grade VIII, 2S2 in grade VII, and
1500 in grades I to VI inclusive).
Each booklet consists of 15 pages with an. average of 20
questions on a page. Each question must be examined, the
several sections of the booklet scored, the total toore
for each child determined and grade placement computed.
The booklets for approximately 500 other pupils have been
graded by the teachers themselves in certain schools and
turned over to the workers on the project so that the scores
of all pupils in the county nay be combined.
(c) A graph of the accomplishment of each pupil has been deter-

The above mentioned Project was put into operation on February 19.
1936 with the personnel of thirty-five employees. The workers are em-
ployed in compiling, checking and cross indexing information concerning
every taxable property in Camden, with the viev/ of setting up a standard
unit foot values which will permit the City assessors to create a more
equitable basis for assessing and appraising taxable properties. The in-
formation necessary is being gathered from records of the Building In-
spector, the building permits, engineers' maps and Sanborn maps and the
definite information sheet on each and every property is being manufac-
tured, taking the City by wards.
When all this information has been assembled and classified, a
scientific survey of these results will be made by the force of the City
Assessors Department, and outside experts employed by the City in set-
ting up the unit of assessment which will permit the assessors to ap-
praise properties on equitable basis.
Considerable progress has been made since the Project has been
put into operation, and we have been fortunate in obtaining a high grade
class of personnel some of whom are college graduates and men of account-
ing and engineering experience.
The City Commissioner, George S. Brunner, under whose supervision
this Project is operating, has expressed himself as being very well satis-
fied with the personnel on the Project, and with the progress that has
been made to date.
No termination date has been set, but there is sufficient work yet
to be done to carry the work of the Project into the Spring of 1937*

W, P. A. 's Atlantic City traffic project is divided into fifteen
(15) parts and is operated at this date by J2 workers; however, as the
seasonal traffic is increased, the project will employ about lOo workers.
The workers are divided into six (6) grades under the head of the Survey
Director, and are classified as follows: Supervising Engineers, Senior
Engineers, Statisticians, Junior Engineers, Draftsmen, Stenographers, Of-
fice Clerks and Enumerators.
The project will extend over a period of six or seven months and
will be in operation at a time when Atlantic City will have its greatest
number of visitors.
The Atlantic City Commissioners are being assisted and encouraged
in this work by the help of the Atlantic City Safety Council Committee
and the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce.
On reviewing the above, the following aims and objects of this
Traffic Survey will be accomplished:
1. It will furnish the basis for an intelligent approach to the
solution of the city traffic and parking problems.
2. It will stimulate local public interest in safety and in-
crease the demand for rigid enforcement measures.
3. It will provide valuable training for those in charge of the
project.
h. It will give an accurate record of Boardwalk circulation.
578
TRAFFIC SURVEY (Continued)
5. It will give an accurate record of Pedestrian traffic on city
streets, being of great value to owners of business properties.
6. It will give an accurate "breakdown" of visitors by States in
a volume vehicle count.
7. It will determine, with the aid of the Police Department, the
worst corner conditions in the City, a record being made of
all fatalities; collision and bad condition diagrams are to
be drawn by the draftsmen after the worst corner conditions
are analyzed.
During the month of May a special school children count was made
at the request of the Police Department to determine the trend and traffic
observance of the children to and from school. This study was City-wide
and covered fifteen schools; the purpose was to determine the need of a
school patrol system and the lack, if any, of local police protection at
specific points.
During the early stages of this project, a survey of garage and
parking lot space available within the entire city was made; the results
of this study have been summarized and spotted on map. A special study
designed to determine the extent of night parking was also made and some
value might be attached to this portion of the survey, as only recently
the City Commission has instructed a tow practice against the violators.
In all the above parking studies, observance will be made of vio-
lation and parking practices. Up to the present time parking studies,
have consumed 1,180 man hours and upon the completion of this project,
the City Commission will have in its possession for its personal informa-
tion and for distribution, a complete analysis of the traffic problems
in Atlantic City.

This project deals with the analyses of various factors in-
volved in the cases of 20,000 commitments to Nov/ Jersey State Ponal and
Correctional Institutions. Actual operation was begun March 7, 1936.
The project's tasks involves rocording, from various sources,
items specified on adopted schedules. This work might well be consid-
ered as having three phases i.e., one for the parolees of state penal
and correctional institutions, one for general institutional scope and
finally one devoted to " special'' studies. More specifically:
I. The analysis of factors involved in the community adjustment of
parolees from:
a. Annandale Farms
b. Rahway Reformatory
c. State Home for Boys
d. State Home for Girls
II. The "Crime Study" involving the analysis of cases selected from
all state penal and correctional institutions.
III. Special studies, which have been undertaken to date are:
a. Study of 1,000 murderers
b. A study of (~al) the sentencing practices of the New Jersey
criminal courts (2,500 cases)
c. A study (#2) of the sentencing practices of the New Jersey
criminal courts since 1840.
d. Classification unit study (completed)
o. Study of tho transfers from the State Prison to Rahway Re-
formatory (completed)

ANALYZE PAROLES FROM STATE INSTITUTIONS (Continued)
It would bo impossible to approximate a constant production
rate for this work due to such retarding factors as, unusual length of
sone case histories, inaccessibility of information, necessary changes
in personnel, etc.
However, during the period of actual operation of sono 1,200
case histories have been recorded (phase I) and primary tabulations
made of 75 per cent of that number.
Some 500 schedules (previously recorded) for the Crime Study
have been coded and are ready for primary tabulation,
1,000 schedules have been completed for the study of 1,000 mur-
derers. Primary tabulations will be begun immediately.
Tabulations were made of the 2,500 cases recorded for the #1
Sentencing Practices Study,
Some 2,000 cases have been recorded for the #2 Sentencing Prac-
tices Study.
Although maximum production efficiency has been attained, the en-
tire project is less than 20 per cent complete at the present time and
it is expected that at least nine months to one year will bo required
successfully to conclude the remaining work.

This W« P. A, Project, known as "Survey of Bookkeeping and
Accounting Systems", beganFebruary 25, 1936 but it was not until the
latter part of March that assignment of Clerks, Bookkeepers and
Accountants to the various institutions had been completed.
The project provides for a great deal of auditing and research
work, together with' various special investigations, with a view to
obtaining sufficient information and data from which can be evolved a
standard procedure of record-keeping and daily routine adaptable to
all similar situations in each of the nineteen institutions and two
agencies.
At the present time the planned revisions have been nearly
completed at the following institutions:
North Jersey Training School, Totowa
New Jersey Reformatory, Annandale
Reformatory for '"omen, Clinton
New Jersey State Colony for Feebleminded Males,
New Lisbon
While the work at the remaining institutions and agencies has
not progressed as far as that at the four institutions above referred
to, it is felt that the progress has been satisfactory and that the
time spent on this problem has been along constructive linos and,
if allowed to continue, will result only in lasting benefit to this

•This project carried on under WPA Program 11 entitled "A Survey
of Farm Mortgages and Heal Estate Transfers" began in actual operation on
March 23, 1936, which was the date of the first assignment, but the full
force of workers was not at work until April 5, 1936.
This project provides for the transcribing of certain data on
farm mortgages filed and released, farm real estate transfers and values,
and farm real estate taxes. The data is being copied from local govern-
ment records in the County Clerks ' offices and County Tax Board offices
on to prepared blanks.
This data on land transfers and values supplements and expands
data obtained in 1934 under Civil Works Administration Project F-6. It
is expected to obtain data on land transfers back to 1900 in most of the
counties selected. The tax data where available will be carried from
1913 to 1890 and will include also tax data for 1934 and 1935. This is
a nation-wide study being carried on in selected counties in each state.
The progress of work to June 1 is as follows:
In the six counties a total of 5842 forms dealing with mortgages
and land transfers have been filled out in addition to records on 300
farms showing 1934 and 1935 taxes.
A total of 15 persons were employed at the end of the recent
period.
Satisfactory progress is boing made on this project. The tabula-
tion of material under present plans, will be carried on in Chicago where
the headquarters of the project arc located.

The Consumer Purchases Survey in Gloucester and Salem Counties
opened March 26, 1936, with headquarters in Crlassboro, N« J- The first
group of field workers was assigned on April 1 and training for field
work was completed on April 20. "he purpose of the project is to ob-
tain information on expenditures of American farm families of specified
types at various income levels ,
Up to Juno 1 the total number of forms of the various types
which wore collected was as follows:
Record Cards 1105
Family Schedules 256
Expenditure Schedules ..... 104
Check lists of Food,
Furnishings and Clothing., 23
These have been turned over to the Editing Section and are in the process
of being checked for accuracy and consistency.
The number of expenditure schedules turned in during the 5q weeks
since collection began,, is about one-third of the required quota j Howev-
er, the number turned in per week has boon increasing and it is probable
that future collection will go more rapidly. One other phase of the work
remains to be commenced. This is the collection of a small number of
records on food consumed by the family during one week. It is hoped to
undertake this part of the program within the coming week. The probable
date of the termination of the project. has not been set.
A total of 27 field agents, 13 editors, 12 clerical workers, 1
jani tress and 4 supervisors were employed as of May 29, 1936.

The Oyster Drill Eradication Project is a continuation of the
work done under the E.R.A. in 1935, starting on March 4th, 1936. There
arc 13 men taken from the relief rolls employed on this project under the
supervision of a foreman with a Biologist in charge, who is in the em-
ploy of the State of l;ow Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.
The men arc all expert water men and experienced in oyster fish-
ing. These men construct the traps in which the Drill is caught (about
40C0 traps in number.) It is necessary to bait the traps with young
oysters, and it is the d-ty of the water men to fish the bait from the
water and place in cnickon wire traps.
The traps are then taken out in boats and set in 11 stations, wide-
ly distributed throughout the bay, on planted oyster beds, covering several
square miles, and allowed to remain in the water from seven to ten days,
after which the traps are raised from the water up to the small boats,
shaking out the Drills in receptacles which arc then taken ashore and des-
troyed. This is a continuous job from day to day depending on wind and
storm.
Since the Project w<as started in March of this year, moro than
3000 traps have been built and rigged, 500 bushels of bait caught, and
over 100,000 drills and 10,000 egg cases caught; it is estimated that with
the rising temperature of the water, a catch of 350,000 drills will be
caught monthly.
In addition to the field work nocessary to destroy this pest, a

determination of salinity of water samples, and tabulating all field
results.
An oyster drill is a small animal incased in a shell and grows as
an -quatic snail about one inch long, armed with a special organ (Drill
or Borer) covered with teeth and attacks the oyster and causes terrific
losses, which annually kills hundred"; of thousands of oysters.
It is estimated by Shell Fishery experts that the Drill is res-
ponsible for a loss of a million dollars annually to the oyster beds of
Hew Jersey.
During the operation of this project more than two million oyster
drills have been captured and destroyed; it is known that an oyster drill
attacks one oyster every two weeks.

This is a Research Project, the primary puspose of which is the
collection and compilation of pertinent data in connection with housing,
for submission to proper federal agencies interested in low-cost housing
and for the use of other various public and semi-public agencies inter-
ested in the welfare of the low-income groups.
Due to the technical nature of the work and diversified types of
studies involved, only parts of the Project were put in operation at the
beginning with groups of personnel selected with regard to their qualifi-
cations for the particular type of work.
A Technical Committee, composed of representatives of the Central
Coordinating Committee of the W.P.A. and the Sponsor, have set up a
schedule of preferred studies and the cities in which they will be con-
duct od first.
Since the Technical Committee agreed that Study #11, consisting
of tabulation of the Herd Property Inventory by blocks, was one of the
most valuable parts, the major part of the personnel have been working on
this part of the project. The method of conducting this 3tudy has been
changed from machine tabulation, as originally set up in the Project, to
a hand tabulation job. This will provide an individual card record of
each dwelling unit enumerated in the New Jersey R.P.I, and will place the
data in a more usable form for the present tabulation as well as for any
future tabulations or correlations. The transcription work has been done
for all the major cities and now the hand sorting and tabulation operation
is going on and should be completed on or about July 1st.
The Project, calling for a total personnel of 997, officially
started on December 16th, 1935. To assure having people fitted for this
type of clerical and statistical work, personnel were taken on gradually,
working up to 35,'j of the quota on March 1st and to approximately 7C> as
of June 1st, 1936.

The workers on this Project are under the supervision of Dr.
Arthur P. Hasking, Diroctor of the Hudson County Welfare Board, Bureau of
Old Age assistance, 921 Bergen Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey.
The duty of the Hudson County Welfare Board is to render assist-
ance to the aged and neody, who are 65 years of age and over, and to
comply with Chapter 31, Public Law 1936, State of New Jersey. This Law
conforms to the requirements of the Federal Social Security Act, and be-
came effectivo in March, 1936. Previous to the passing of Chapter 31,
Public Law 1936, Old Age Assistance was rendered under Chapter 219, Public
Law of 1931, State of .Tow Jersey.
The duties of the Works Progress Administration employees under
Project 2-220, consists of taking applications at the Welfare Board
Office, making various roports at tho office, and verifying information
furnished by the applicants, also of typing, filing and indoxing of these
records. It is also the duty of stenographers to take dictation and write
letters pertaining to the applicants at the Welfare Board Offices.
Under the Law, after a grant has boon made for six months, a re-
verification of the case is necessary. This ro-verificition takos place
every six months as prescribed by law, and is going on continually.
There are also reports submitted to other Counties from information
availablo at this office, pertaining to children residing in Hudson County
of applicants elsewhere.
The employees on this project number forty- three, and are classi-
fied as clerks, typists and stenographers.

This W. P. A. State Wide Project, known as the Veterans Graves
Registration has been oper-.ting since December 2, 1935* It is the purpose
of tiiis project to locate the grave of every Veteran of all wars in which
the United States participated. Also to inspect and record the markings
and inscribed history of such veterans in every cemetery and burial
ground in (20) counties. Card records of graves are to be made and maps
drawn of such cemeteries on which the location of the graves are- to be
spotted.
During the period ending June 1st, a total of 1,312 cemoteries
were visited and the inscriptions on 2,032,177 graves were read, from
which were located 49,000 Veterans Graves. The project has searched and
transcribed to cards, in duplicate, the military record of the Veterans
located to date, 98,000 cards having been typed. Of the 1,312 ccmctarics
in the State of New Jersey, 350 had to be surveyed because no maps arc
available and up to the present writing 782 maps have "been delineated.
All work remains in process. Because of improved working condi-
tions conditions it is expected that the work will progress at a more
rapid rate. It would seem likel;/, from the preliminary estimates sub-
mitted, that the number of investigations to be made will exceed the
number submitted in the Project.

This project dealing with the analysis and editing of statistical
information of a public welfare nature was begun February 20, 1935.
To date only three of the five phases of this project have been put
underway, namely:
1. Study of trends in admissions. The study entails tabulating,
analyzing, verifying and correcting specified items on record
cards of admission to the various state and county institutions.
Original estimation of quantity, 6,000 cards: to date
approximately one third complete.
2. Preparation of individual records of blind persons for
use of home teachers.
This phase is primarily a task of copying desired infor-
mation on adopted forms from some 2,500 cards. At present
900 forms have been completed.
3. Highway accident cases study.
The work required by this study consists of recording
specified information on adopted schedules and making the
necessary tabulations, summaries, graphs and report.
To date 3,595 cases have been recorded on schedules and tabulations
made of about 1,000 of these cases.
Work on the remaining phases is to be begun within a week and
the efficiency peak will probably be reached by the end of the current
month.
596
As no other new tasks are expected tn be required in conjunction
with the original proposal, it would be fairly safe to estimate that eight
months will be required to complete the entire project.

and correct information from the jacket containing the subject's history
to the schedule. These schedules are then verified by the "Verifiers" and
after they are pronounced correct by the Supervisor they are then forwarded
to Washington, D.C. for coding.
During the period ending June 10, eight hundred (800) cases have
been recorded, six hundred thirty-four (63*0 of which have been forwarded
to Washington, D. C,
In connection with the above listed personnel, please be advised
that this was increased from twenty- two (22) workers to thirty (30) workers

The WPA Project known as the Physical Survey and Mapping of
Indian Sites was proposed on Dec* 6, 1S35, and scheduled to begin
March 1, 1956? but did not go into actual operation until March 16,1936,
when assignment of personnel was initiated*
It is imperative that a systematic state-wide survey of New
Jersey's aboriginal remains continue to be made since virgin sites in
the state are fast disappearing. In fact, some particularly valuable
sections are in immediate danger of being disturbed by building and
engineering operations ,. The last archaeological survey in New Jersey
was made in 1912 and was neither systematic nor complete. Schools
throughout the state arc now stressing the study of the Indians who
once occupied New Jersey and little authentic information is available.
The scope of this project involves four phases: (l) Excavation;
(2) Indian Trails; (3) Inventory and Cataloguing of Collections;
(4) Sites Survey.
Excavation - This phase is probably the most important aspect of the
project. There is a necessity for finding artifacts "in situ"' Thus,
one has first-hand, original and unquestioned information in contrast
to that disseminated by the fore-runners of the present-day archaeology,
which was less complete, less accurate and less systematic.
By original scientific excavation the various occupational levels
of the Indians can be observed. The remains within them can be inter-
preted culturally and historically; while geological consideration of the
various strata can be informative as regards their relative ages, leading
to an estimate of a possible pre-Indian or glacial man. Then too, exami-

nation of any graves found will reveal "by the position of the skeleton
and the type of "burial, the different "tribes; by the materials buried rath
then, an idea of the religion and stage of art*
On March l6th, 193^» work was begun in Mercer, and on May 8th in
Canden County, with an excavation only in the former at the Abbott's Farm,
south of Trenton. It is expected that excavation will comnence June 9,
1936, near Columbus, Burlington County, and later, near Medford, also in
Burlington. Eventually it is hoped to push on into Union find Sussex
Counties.
Excavation work on Abbott's Farm "bogan April 17* 193&. During
the six-week period to June 1, 193&. ten men, under expert supervision,
have surveyed, staked out, dug and carefully trowelled down 13» 950 cubic
feet of earth, each foot of which had been minutely examined for arti-
facts. Meanwhile, draftsmen drew preliminary maps of the site, and later
ground plan, cross-section and soil stratification maps of the excava -
tions were shown.
Results have been very satisfactory, two old Indian skulls and
several hundred artifacts, consisting of arrowheads, spearpoints, drills,
scrapers, pottery, hammerstones, etc., having "been found.
In the future, the cost per cubic foot excavated will be reduced,
since there is na? a trained supervisory body of engineers, which will re-
main constant; thus necessitating the addition of only a force of -labor-
ers. It is expected that 150,00. cu. feet of earth will be turned in all,
and digs conducted simultaneously on three different sites*
Indian Trails - Part of the personnel is engaged in research work along
these lines. These old trails are a veritable store-house of information
of. historical and educational value. From their frequency and directions
light is thrown upon the size of the aboriginal population, the location
of larger sites, more important villages and trading points.
• - . • 1
TJork to date has been confined to research dealing with old
records and maps. Approximately 125 Indian paths have been "brought to
light. These have been located in detail, naming, if at all possible,
ev.ery town, village, river, street, mountain or ravine through which
they passed.
Present plans call for plotting each of those trails on a largc-
scile map, indicating important camp sites, burial grounds, treaty or
parley places, quarries., and fishing and hunting grounds, where they oc-
cur along these ancient highways. It is hoped, also that a few members
of the staff may go out into the field and locate some of the more im-
portant trails with transit, thus getting the engineering data so vital t
ly necessary to the accurato location of a road.
Inventory and Cataloguing of Collections - Too much of New Jersey's
archaeological material has already been taken to other states or lost.

INDIAN SI TBS SURV5Y ( Con eluded)
There are still many fine collections of Indian artifacts in private
hones, schools, libraries and other institutions which should be inven-
toried, classified and catalogued, with rarer pieces sketched and photo-
graphed, so that these records nay he collected in some central place,
such as the New Jersey State Museum, and used for study purposes.
A cultural interpretation of such material remains and unusual
pieces is of inestimable worth. The history of the Indian, and perhaps
the pre-Indian, can he traced from his crude and early beginnings. The
introduction of agriculture, hunting, art, fire, the white man, the
entire panorama of New Jersey Indian history passes in review by means
of these remains.
Four men, working on an average of two ^ays a week during the
past two months, have completed nine private collections. They have
handled, and classified on special specimen form sheets, 2,000 specimens;
a staff artist lias drawn 100 different artifacts; the photographer has
taken thirty pictures of the r.oro unusual pieces.
It is expected that 500 collections will be catalogued; 50,000
artifacts classified; 1,000 photographs taken; 300 sketches drawn. Ob-
viously, such figures are variable on account of the research nature of
the enterprise.
Sites Survey - This embraces the actual exploration of the more important
sites, after preliminary map work. A systematic state-wide survey of
sites, designating on official New Jersey geological and topographical
maps the exact location of Indian rock- shelters, camp sites, village
sites, burial grounds and shell heaps, is vital as a guide for possible
future excavations. It is also informative as regards the distribution,
size and differentiation of the various tribes in the state. Thus is af-
forded a check on the aboriginal population within the state and an in-
sight into the life and home of the Indian,
The remains of a liastodon were uncovered on one of the construc-
tion projects while excavating for a lagoon in Uonehegan Park of the
Union County Park System. Dr. Cross, Supervisor of the Indian Sites Sur-
vey supervised the removal, and the State Museum is endeavoring to make
use of it,
A total of 32 persons were employed at the end of the recent
period, while the complete personnel of the original project calls for 88
people.
In no case would it be possible for any phase of the project to
be completed b/ Juno 30 » 193^»

The Survey of the Training and Employment of White Collar and
Skilled Negro Workers, known as St-142 is a Federal project operating in
90 communities (including District of Columbia) of 30 states, Its opera-
tion in Now Jersey is confined to the following four communities: Newark,
Jersey City, Atlantic City and Camden, The operation in New Jersey began
with the opening of the State Office, March 5, 1936; opening of District
Office in Newark, March 11, 1936; Camden, March 28, 1936; Jersey City,
May 28, 1936 and Atlantic City, May 28, 1936. The project's task in-
volves the selection of the area to be studied in each municipality, based
on the percentage of Negro population by wards; a breakdown of the map of
each city into wards, sections and blocks. Enumerators are then assigned
to specific blocks and from house to house calls interview the inhabitants
falling within occupational classification for the purpose of ascertaining
first, the type and amount of training white collar and skilled Negro
workers have received; secondly, the relationship between this training
and the occupational experiences; and third, the method by which they se-
cured their basic training. Additional information is secured on age,
marital status, nativity and contacts with public agencies for comparison
with other groups in the general population of these communities. This
information is recorded on a schedule prepared by spor.sor. To date, the
following accomplishments have been obtained by municipalities:

Plant diseases show a definite relationship to environmental con-
ditions, therefore these factor;; aid greatly in their control. Data re-
lating to temperatures, rainfall, and other environmental factors are very
important in this work, and fifteen hundred articles have been abstracted
by our W,P,A. workers in this connection. In addition, two thousand arti-
cles have been read and abstracted on literature relating to plant dis-
eases in general, specific diseases, varietal resistance, etc. Work of
this nature could continue indefinitely.
The results of such work as indexing, abstracting, and tabulating
of statistical data are of great value to scientific workers. The assem-
bling of these data should enable us to develop measures for the control
of many plant diseases.
Our typist devotes the major part of her time typing abstracts
prepared by the research workers, typing of monthly progress reports,
letters (seven hundred since Nov. 1, 1935), statistical work including
approximately one hundred and fifty tables, etc. A typist is invaluable
in our Department for wo have entirely too much stenographic work for our
staff typist.

PLANT DISEASE RESEARCH (Continued)
Our botanist is illustrating the common diseases of Now Jersey by
means of water color drawings and the coloring of photographs, lantern
slides, making color standards for soil tests, etc. Approximately one hun-
dred photographs have been colored, seventy-five lantern slides tinted,
and about eighty color standards prepared for soil tests. The tinted pho-
tographs have brought out the main characteristics of plant disease symp-
toms, differences between sprayed and unsprayed trees, plants, etc. This
work has aided us greatly in our classroom work, such as our four-year
courses, vegetable garden courses, short courses, etc., and the photo-
graphs are used to great advantage at public gatherings, exhibits, etc.
Continuance of this work is of inestimable value, as there arc numerous
photographs that still remain to be tinted.

• Task involved in Work & Details: Pruning experimental peach
and apple trees which experienced more or less injury, and to remove
winter injured fruit trees which have no further .experimental value.
Approximate amount of work accomplished: The men on this proj-
ect have pruned and cleared away the prunings of about 230 apple trees
and about 1,100 peach trees. They have provided the manual care for a-
bout 11,000 budded peach trees in the nursery. In the late spring,
they applied 6 sprays to about 425 apple trees and 3 sprays to about
1,500 peach trees. They have applied a special preventative for tent
caterpillars to about 500 young peach trees. They have applied a hay
and straw mulch to about 100 trees. They erected and removed 6 cheese-
cloth tents over peach trees so that breeding work could be conducted.
The peach breeding work and the maintenance of collections of
varieties of peach and apples is an important feature of the fruit work
of the horticultural department of the Experiment Station. The New Jer-
sey State Horticultural Society, through its Peach Council, has urged
the Station to continue this and extend this work in spite of the de-
pression and the reduced budget at the Station. Without the work of the
men on this project it would not be possible to maintain the work of
breeding and testing now varieties of apples and poaches.

This project was established for the purpose of accomplishing
the following objectives:
1, The preparation and chemical analysis of plant material
grown in three N, J. Station projects.
2. The preparation of microscope slides of sections of buds
and other plant material for research and instruction
purposes.
Accomplishments :-
Thirty-eight samples of plant material involving 152 determina-
tions have been analyzed. The data thus obtained will be used in the ■
preparation of various publications to be issued by the Experiment Station.
To date, about 700 microscope slides have been prepared under this
project. Many of these slides illustrate the developmental history of var-
ious fruit buds and will be very valuable in college instruction. Many
other slides illustrate the anatomical structure of various plant tissues
and organs. The latter slides will bo used for research roference and col-
lege instruction.

In the State of New Jersey there are almost 7000 miles of drain-
age ditches installed for mosquito control purposes on the salt marshes.
Approximately 1/3 of this ditching should be cleaned each year. With the
present machinery or with hand labor the cost of this cleaning ranges
from \ to I-? cents per linear foot. In order to reduce this cost, plans
for the machine being developed on Project U-271, were -prepared several
years ago by the State Experiment Station and it is hoped that eventually
this machine will be able to clean salt marsh ditches at the rate of
about 1/10 cent per linear foot.
For a proper understanding of this report it will be necessary to
describe in some detail the construction of the machine. A Chevrolet
truck chassis provides the base upon which the machine has been built.
The drive shaft of the truck was shortened, the rear axle moved forward,
the rear wheels removed and replaced by caterpillar type tracks, the
front wheels removed and replaced by drum type wheels having flat wooden
treads. Between the front wheels flat skids were attached to the frame
in 0 rder to prevent the front v:heels from dropping into holes or ditches
when crossing. Steering is provided by turning the front wheels and at
the same time applying the brakes which govern either one crawler or the
other. In order that the machine may be moved from one marsh to another
without loading it on a truck or trailer means were provided for removing
the crawlers and the drum wheels and replacing them with the regular Chev-
rolet wheels and tires, thus enabling the machins to operate under its own
power along public highways. The crawlers were transported by placing
them on a special trailer couoled to the machine.

COMPLETION AND TESTING OF EXPERIMENTAL MACHINE
FOR MAINTENANCE OF SALT MARSH DRAINAGE (Continued)
The digging element is hung at the rear of the machine on long-
itudinal arms which pivot at a point directly back of the driver's pos-
ition on the machine. A small hoisting dram provides for the raising or
lowering of the entire element in order to clean ditches at different
depths or to raise the digging element entirely clear of the ground, when
moving the machine. The digging element is composed of a frame work a-
bout which an excavator chain equipped with buckets, operates. The buck-
ets move upward on the front of this digging element passing over a
sprocket wheel at the top and discharging by centrifugal force into a
rubber belt cross conveyer attached to the back of the digging element.
This conveyer belt carries the spoil to one. side where a distributor
spreads it over the marsh.
Construction of the machine was completed in March and it was
then placed on the Camp Raritan salt marsh, this marsh being selected
because it offered operating conditions ranging from diked marshes which
had become quite fresh and very soft to marshes that were open to the
tides and quite firm. It is not anticipated that the machine, when in
the service for which it was intended, will encounter marshes that are
diked and consequently soft but it was felt that tests under all possible
conditions should be made. It was found very shortly after the machine
began work that additional bearing surface would be necessary for opera-
tion on the very soft marshes. Accordingly the caterpillar width was in-
creased from 2k inches to 3^ inches by bolting wide blocks on top of the
caterpillar track shoes. This increase permitted the machine to operate
on marshes so soft that a heavy man could not walk on them. On certain
types of marsh it was found that the machine did not leave the ditch suf-
ficiently clean and a considerable amount of time has been spent in at-
tempting to correct this feature. Several modifications of the chute
which encloses the cutting portion of the bucket line were made but to
no avail. Finally an increase in the bucket line speed proved the solu-
tion of the problem and resulted in the attainment of cleaning of the de-
sired quality. All through the several months of operation trouble has
been experienced with the motor over-heating and this required frequent
stopping in order to permit the machine to cool. It was anticipated that
this trouble would cease to exist when all of the various component parts
of the machine were finally adjusted in proper relation to each other.
This did not prove to be the case and only by the addition of another rad-
iator in tandem with the regular Chevrolet radiator has it been possible
to prevent this over-heating. The problem, however, no longer exists and
constant operation can now be had. Up to the present date no considerable
amount of testing for production has been done for two reasons. First,
there has been but very little time when the machine was not undergoing
minor repairs or adjustments in order to improve the quality of the work
being produced and second, operation has been carried on mostly on sec-
tions of the marsh where conditions are more severe than are ordinarily
encountered in the type of marsh that would generally be cleaned by ma-
chine. At the present time it appears that most of the difficulties in
the digging element itself have been removed and it is planned to operate

COMPLETION AND TESTING OF EXPERIMENTAL MACHINE
FOR MAINTENANCE OF SALT MARSH DRAINAGE (Continued)
the machine for the next few months with a view to measuring its ability
to produce under normal conditions. THien the machine is finally removed
from the marsh the entire caterpillar portion of the machine will he re-
built in order that a much more compact machine may he produced and that
the weight may be considerable reduced. This plan will, of course, re-
sult in a machine that cannot be tr^cported over the highways under its
own power but the experience of the pasx few months indicates that it is
more important to have a machine light and flexible in operation on the
marsh than to have a machine that is readily transported from one point
to another under its own power. To carry out this plan will require the
continuation of the project for a period of about a year and to this end
plans are being made to secure the necessary parts and materials in the
hope that the WPA will continue to supply the necessary labor.

Twice during the late winter and spring, temperatures were low
enough at New Brunswick to cause considerable fruit bud killing upon
peach. Under this project the average but set per tree was determined
on the basis of the New Jersey Standard, for the large collection of var-
ieties and seedlings of the peach upon the Station grounds.
Following each o f the two low temperature periods the percentage
of fruit buds killed upon the large collection of varieties was determined.
Minimum temperatures for the summer months at New Brunswick were
tabulated for a period of ten years.
Assistance was also rendered in classifying and tabulating the
fruit buds of different classes upon sevoral VJinesap and Stayman apple
trees and the relative amount of injury noted following low temperatures

A bulletin entitled "Industrial '.'taste in New Jersey", and a paper
entitled "Importance of Industrial Waste in Stream Pollution" have been
submitted for publication by the N. J. Agricultural Experiment Station.
A large number of studies on treatment of wastes have been made which are
being compiled and made ready for publication. Perfection of methods of
analyses of the materials present in the wastes has been underway. Stud-
ies on trade waste treatment in conjunction with domestic sewage have been
performed and several papers are in preparation to be submitted for publi-
cation.
Studies on pathogens dealt with paratyphoid A, paratyphoid B, dy-
sentery shiga and 3. typhosus. The viability of these organisms in various
concentrations present in surface and sea water, the viability with various
substrates and varying concentrations when present in sewage has been stud-
ied. The numbers of pathogens have been compared and correlated with the
total water bacteria. The effect of disinfectants, especially chlorine,
added in various percentages of the chlorine demand have been studied on
the above combinations.
The actual work on the first part of the problem is about SOtfo com-
plete (the compilation and writing up of the results for publication is
underway), while the actual work of the second part is about 60-70$ com-
pleted. A total of 1333 bacteriological analyses were made.

The majority of the work since January 31» 193& under XP.A. has
centered around the Relationship of Fungi to Seed Germination. After the
isolations of these fungi common upon seeds were made, it was necessary
to determine the kinds. These determinations were made during the winter,
and some 18 genera were found. It was then necessary to study the effects
of the fungi on seed germination, and determine whether they play active
or passive roles. It has been found that some molds actually promote ger-
mination and strengthen growth, whereas others materially retard it. '.When-
ever sterile seedlings are inoculated with bacteria 100^ mortality of
seedlings results. These are the phases of the problem upon which the
technician is working at present.
The second worker, the illustrator, has been coordinating her work
with that of the technician. Diseased seedlings, abnormal developments of
radicle and plumule have been sketched. The bacteria and fungi which grow
en these seedlings are also being drawn. Further illustrations of plants
as they develop in the field will be made, so that the study may finally
be presented in its entirety when all data are completed.
The problem may be said to be about half completed. Checks have
to be made on series which have been run, together with the field trials.
Results will then have to be tabulated and the manuscript written for pub-
lication.

Since March 2nd material progress has been made by the W.P.A.
workers assigned to this statistical research problem. Roughly, the
project has dealt with three phases of the problem. First, the ac-
cumulated egg production behavior statistics for the past 16 yoars at
our New Jersey Egg Laying Contest (branches of this department) have
been assimilated and tabulated, with particular reference to the chang-
ing trends in egg production shown over that period of time, and also
the changing mortality rates. The work of the present spring has dealt
primarily with ascertaining the seasonal fluctuations and changing trends
in egg yields due to known changes in management methods. To-date the
study of these many thousands of records seems to point out that the trend
in recent years has boon tov/ard a higher rate or egg yield during the early
winter months than was formerly true. The study also reveals a vory de-
cided increase in mortality rate during recent years and points to the
possibility of correlations between increased mortality rates and the use
of an increased number of forcing management methods.
The second phase of the project has dealt with the study of pedi-
gree chick records and has been preparatory to a study of the correlation
between the size of hatching eggs, the sizo of the chick at hatching time,
and the size of the chick at various periods during its development.
The third feature has dealt with an observation of the normal be-
havior of both young and old birds under normal comnorical management.
The work since March 2nd to June 1st has been primarily of the data-ac-
cumulating type, and while it is abundantly worth while, has not yet pro-
ceeded to the stage of permitting the drawing of final conclusions.

Task involved in Work & Details: The work on this project is a
continuation of that begun last fall and winter in connection with the
germ plasm survey inaugurated cooperatively by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the Dairy Department of the New Jersey Agricultural College,
It 'concerns itself with a long-time analysis of the results of breeding in
those herds where production records of milk and fat of individual cows
have been secured for a number of years through the Dairy Improvement
Associations.
The data for herds, sent to the U. S. D. A. and summarized and re-
turned by that department has been rofincd and simplified so that it can
be understood and used both by the owners of the herds studied and by
other practical breeders and dairy farmers who arc interested. The men
have effected simplifications by moans of herd charts which show the trans-
mitting ability of the females in relation to that of the males. In the
vertical columns are presented the records of daughters of each bull ar-
ranged so that each cow family can be followed through horizontally on the
sheet. The quality of the record is indicated by different colors.
In addition to this family chart, a line chart was made up for
each herd. This showed graphically the effect of herd siros used in
chronological order by averages and range of production of dams and
daughters.

November 25, 1935 will .long be remembered by the citizens of Long
Branch, New Jersey as it was on that date that the Long Branch Day Nursery
became an active and commendable VJ. P. A. prjject.
Under the direction of Joseph H. Gehring, District Director, this
nursery is rapidly being taxed to its capacity in caring for children whose
mothers have found employment.
The h~>mc c iisists of six large rooms .and bath; glass enclosed sun
porch which can be ;penod and used for outdoor playing during inclement
weather. The grounds are fenced in and equipped with recreational facil-
ities. In addition, a large playground has boon established on a vacant
lot in the rear of the nursery. This has been 3nclosed with a five foot
fence and is well supplied with outdoor equipment furnished by the Spms;rs.
The interior is equipped v/ith the necessary high chairs, kindergarten
chairs, cribs, play pens, etc., all of which were purchased by the Works
Progress Administration. T xys provided for interi.r play consist of ed-
ucational bl cks of all sizes and colors; a tricycle; kiddie cars; rocking
horses; modeling clay; numerous small pulling toys; dolls books; stuffed
toys; and a victrola for musicol entortainment , all donated by interested
friends.
On admissi n to the nursery each chili is given an examination by
3 physician. Daily calls t1 the nursery are made by the d ctor and each
child is examined. Ailments are reported and treatments ordered. Any child
who shows a temperature, or sympt.ins of any illness, is immediately isolated
and, if necessary, is givon hospitalizati n. Treatments of heads f ;>r pedi-
culi is routine. Every two weeks each child is weighed and any increase
or decrease in weight is noted. Since this nursery started, all children
have gained in weight. Ono child of five, underweight, suffering from
rickets and a rheumatic heart, has gained two pounds. This child, when
627
LONG BRANCH DAY NURSERY (Continued)
entering the nursery, was unable to talk, but can now say a number of words
and even make short sentences. Two children who are being treat d for
chronic otitis media have sh wn much improvement •
One two year >ld boy, found to bo unable t- see farther than ten
inches because of myopia, was taken to a hospital clinic an'1 fitted with
glasses. Another child >f eighteen months suffering from rickets so that .
he was scarcely able to stand alone, has gained three pounds and is able
t~> run ani play with the other children.
Parents leaving their children at the nursery have been requested
to sign consent slips for the inoculation of dipthoria toxoid and vaccin-
ation.
Feeding problems, such as refusal to eat and ruminating of meals,
are being eliminated by careful handling.
Many of the necessities required for the aeration of this day
nursery are donated by the people >f the city. On January 25, 1936 open
house was held at this nursery, the price of admission being a donati n of
some necessity required for the >peration of the nursery.
The ages of the children range from six months to six years and in-
clude those of all races.
Self-reliance is taught whenever possible and even tiny tots if two
years have been taught to help themselves in many ways*
The Children teke delight in coming to the nursery and call it
"My School",
From November 25, 1935, the opening date of the Long Branch Day
Nursery until registration was closed on April 15, 1936, eighty-six child-
ren were registered, and all but fifteen were found eligible for admission.
The aggregate pupil attendance days up to an"1, including June 1, 1936
was two thousand seven hundred and eighty-one (s,781) representing forty-
four families.
There are at present forty regular attendants with a daily average
of twenty-four.
The parents, many of whom are VJ.P.A. workers, are well pleased with
the project and eager to have their children continue in the Nursery. Many
of the parents have said "We can work now, and fool that our children are
perfectly safe and it certainly is a comfort".
The Nursery is well equipped and many donati >ns are coming in.

The objectives of the project since its inception, November 20,
1935, are many:
A. 1. Approximately 800 physicians, in Newark, were interviewed
and 400 willingly cooperated in creating the Health Hour
project as planned by the Board of Health. These physicians
gave one hour per week, gratis, to the innoculating of those
children sent in by the W.P.A. workers.
2. The anti-toxin was givon, without cost, to these physicians
by the Board of Health.
3. Those children of families on relief, and borderline cases,
could be innoculated free of any charge.
4. Those who had no family physician could have innoculations
at a minimum charge of #1.00 per injection. Two injections
were the average number needed.
B. 31,125 children, six years of age and younger, were reported
on by the neronnel .
1. The date- as to the ages, correct addresses, and whether or
not they were immunized against diptheria was secured by
visiting the home of every pro-school child on record in
the City of Newark.
2. Of those still unprotected, 41$, or 12,947, the inter-
viewers endeavored to secure signed consents from parents
to immunize these children. (See A-3&4)

HEALTH EDUCATIONAL TALKS- -PARENTS (Continued)
3. 16$, or 2,090, children were immunized as a result of the
first visit.
4. 13,000 have had at least one re-visit.
5. Third and fourth visits are or will be made.
C. The city is divided into two districts. The personnel is also
divided between these two districts and they use the election
districts as a guide in visiting homes.
D. The Board of Health has allowed two health inspectors to de-
vote full time to direct the work of this project. The sup-
ervisor of the Board's inspectors devotes at least five hours
every week to the directing and planning of the work.

su— lied by the U.""...., >ne of the finest ^rejects the aovennnent has
ever s^ns^red.
This -project was started in Noveriber 1935. The work, with the
cri^-led kiddies done by the County, had become so ~reat it was nec-
essary to have a full tine driver for trans.^ ^rtatiin. Bef >re this date
the c 'unty ha-1 been usin~ nen sullied by the Works Division of the
E.R.A. This was nost unsatisfect >ry as all the nen assi.a'nei were not
competent to fill this position.
These children are taken three tines a week to the Paul Kinball
H^snital for physiotherapy treatnents. They are transported from all
sections of the county, fron New E':ypt on the west, Tuckerton on the
south, Lakewood on the n^rth, and "\>int feasant on the east. Once
each month a clinic is held for the children under the direction of Dr.
Nicholas S. Ransohoff of New York City, win is connected with the Hos-
pital for B^nc an^'1. Joint diseases in New York City, also the Monmouth
Memrial Hospital, L->nn Branch. The driver takes the chillron to the

Since this ^reject has been in o-^erati m the driver has trans-
ported 797 cases for phyoiother—y treatment, 85 t: clinic, 30 to

driver for crttssd .children— tolis river
The work has increased so greatly-, the Board of Freeholders of
Ocean County purchased, for the use jf the Ocean County Health De-artment,
a specially built bus to transport tho children. This was made from one
of tho 1936 models of a closed delivery car. Glass was put in the sides
and doors in the rear. Seats were "lace along the. sides and made high
enough t"1 bo comfortable for their little legs.
It is >ne 'f the best -ieces'of welfare w ,rk that the county
has done, as it meets a long required need. Irc?i ms to this, the child-
ren were taken in an ordinary touring car. Thoy were much too crowded, and
at tines, very uncomfortable duo to braces.
The Elks. Lodge ;f Lakewood have supplied -part of the equipment
which is used in tho Paul Kimball Hospital for the Physiotherapy work.
Dr. Lohmacher, who was connected with the Lenox Hill Hospital, New York
City, is the physiotherapist in charge, Tho nurses visit the homes of
those children, talk with the mothers in regard to special exorcises
that the child should do at hone.
Through kindness of tho driver and through his personal friends,
some of these children have been outfitted with clothing, some made by
the 17.P.A. sewing rooms. Tho children all love him and vie with each other
as to who shall sit beside hin in the bus as it is considered a great
privilege. He carrios the tiny onos, some on crutches, some with braces,
to an" from the bus at their h nos an", hospital. Many of these children
are victims of poliomyetlities ana others from deformities at birth, or
some other physical handica" which has been discovered by the nurses.
It so happens that this sane driver is a chef by profession, and at
Christmas tine he ma-'o r>ver two hundred ann. fifty rounds of Christmas
candy in all shapes and forms and colors. Through a donation of friends
he node it possible that each child received a yift along with their bag
of candy, each girl s doll and the boys a toy or *ane. He is always doing
some kind dead an*3 the children really love him.
Recently a sch 1 bus was struck by a touring car. The blue hus
"was pressed into service ond sixteen of tho injured children were taken
to a ^hysician in a nearby community.

Task involved in Work & Details: Work consists of preparing and
serving hot lunches to school children. The children who can afford it,
pay a nominal price for the lunch. Those who cannot pay, also those whom
the school Nurse advises are under-weight or under-nourished, are given
free lunches. During the time this project has been in operation, there
has been a very worthwhile improvement in the physical condition of most
of the children whom the school Nurse recommended for free lunches.
Date Started: November 12, 1935
Approximate amount of work accomplished: 95$ completed.
It is very desirable that the school lunches be continued during

Task involved in Work: The work in detail done by these people
involves assistance to P.T.A. in preparing the food into sandwiches, soup,
combination dishes, hot and cold, deserts, coffee, cocoa, cakes, wafers,
etc. This food is made ready and is served to the children at the noon
hour. The tables and benches in the lunch- room are cleaned before and
aftor lunch. The dishes and equipment used are washed and put away for
the day. The room is kept in order, windows cleaned and curtains
laundered.
Date Started: Jan. 20, I936
Approximate amount of work accomplished: Through this project
the lunch- room was maintained for the Grant School from January 20, 193&
until May 29» 193& when the work was suspended for the summer vacation,,
The workers were able to prepare many lunches and rendered very valuable
service to the boys and girls of the school. The work continued for
eighteen weeks during which time there were approximately ten thousand
lunches served.
Volunteer workers from the P.T.A. gave supplemental help so that
the lunch- room facilities continued uninterrupted until July first.
Our reports from the school health service show definitely that
the regular hot lunch service has materially decreased the mal-nutrition
conditions in this community among children.

This project was inaugurated by the Parent-Teacher Association.
It requested that the ¥orks Progress Administration furnish it a cook and
waitress in order that any money the Association might raise could be
used to defray the costs of meals for underprivileged children. The pro-
ject was started in order to furnish' hot wholusome lunches to the atu-
dents.
Between 60 and JO meals per day wore served in this cafeteria and
the children and their parents were highly satisfied with the results.
The cook and waitress took a great interest in their jobs and in
the students that patronized the cafeteria. It was suprising how economi-
cally the meals could be arranged. The Superintendent of Schools his com-
plimented the "works Progress Administration very highly on the type of
personnel furnished for this work and has expressed his wish to reopen
this project in the fall when school opens.

1. EMERGENCY EDUCATION PROGRAM - The Emergency Education
Program in New Jersey was started on January 6, 1936. Seventy-one (71)
school districts in the State sponsored programs. General adult
education classes were established in all of these units but classes
in the remaining education projects, namely, Workers Education, Parent
Education, Vocational Education and Literacy classes, were established
in varying numbers in the seventy-one units.
The programs are all sponsored by Boards of Education and are
under the direct supervision of the Superintendents of Schools or the
Supervising Principals of the school districts in which located.
The Emergency Nursery Schools are sponsored by Boards of Educa-
tion and are located in both school buildings and civic centers. There
are twenty-nine (29) nursery schools in operation in the State. These
schools are located in localities where there is the greatest need of
health care for young children of relief families.
2. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM - The six (6) Educa-
tion Projects are administered as State-wide Projects by the Assistant
State Director, in charge of Education Program and Projects, Division
of Women's and Professional Projects at the W.P.A. State Headquarters.
The Educational supervision of the projects is under the direction of the
State Department of Public Inspection which sponsor s the State-Wide Pro-
jects. There is a State Supervisor for each project and in the largest
project, General Adult Education, there are Assistant State Supervisors
assigned to specific areas of the State and to supervise colored education
classes.
The local education programs are attracting students from all
walks of life. Reports show that the youngest students are about sixteen
years of age and the oldest one registered is eighty- three. The largest
age group in attendance is the group in the late teens and twenties,
though many middle aged people are attending classes in order to re-
train themselves in specific arts or to broaden their general
education.
646-a
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNITS - The Superintendents of schools
or the Supervising Principals in each school district assume the re-
sponsibility of Administering the program in accordance with the needs of
the connunity. The direct administration of the schools in the district
is done "by a Principal assigned either by W.P.A. or, in some few cases
in larger municipalities, assigned as an employee of the Board of Edu-
cation, An adequate office and supervisory staff is assigned to each
unit on the basis of the number of employees assigned as teachers.
Janitor service is furnished by the '..:.P.A«
4. STUDENT PERSONNEL - The opportunities offered by Emergency
Education Programs, as established in various communities, have net a
wide response from the citizens. The classes have been established
on the basis of need in the communities, l^henever there is sufficient
demand for a class in an elementary or secondary school subject, the
class is established and a teacher assigned to carry on the complete
program of instruction in that subject. Many of the academic classes
present a complete course as offered in the public schools while other
classes of a vocational or appreciative nature have their courses of
study determined by the needs and desires of the students.
A wide variety of student activities has been inaugurated in the
many units. These activities too are formed to furnish an outlet for
both special interests of students and as a source of social and coop-
erative contact. The activities are all organized and directed by stu-
dent personnel and are entirely financed by the students who participate.
Students are free to join in the activities of any club or organization,
5. CONCLUSION - A general over- view of the Education Program
in this State shows that the units established are functioning with a
considerable' degree of success in meeting the needs of the municipalities
where established. It is very apparent however that due to the late
starting date of the program, much activity has been curtailed. This is
mainly due to the fact that the long wait between the beginning of the
ordinary school year in September and the date of starting, January 6,
caused loss of morale and enthusiasm among both employees and students.
It is evident that the program has relieved considerable suffering on the
part of many employees who were in need of income and though eligible
for relief would not apply for direct relief because of professional
pride that exists among the teaching profession as in many other
professions.

Trade and Technical Subject - (Men): About seventy five teachers
were employed teaching the following industrial subjects: Pattern-making,
Machine Shop, Carpentry, Cabinet Making, Architectural and Machine Draft-
ing, Hadio, Aeronautics, i»,uto Mechanics, Sheet Metal, Photography, Finger
Printing, Landscaping, Electricity, Printing, Blue Print Reading, Engineer-
ing, Estimating, Sign Painting. There arc many instances where men have
received employment through the knowledge they received in the above classes.
The instruction received in the Aeronautics classes has been quite instru-
mental in preparing many of the pupils for taking the examinations for the
various types of aviation licenses, a number of men in these classes have
also received employment with the Wright Aeronautical Corporation. The
Machine Shop classes in Jersey City have also been responsible in placing
a number of their pupils. In many cases the subjects were taken by the
pupils to broaden their scope in their particular specialized fields;
machine shop employees, blueprint reading, mechanical drawing; janitor and
firemen, certain phases of engineering to qualify them for higher positions
or help in their present ones. A number of the teachers have also received
permanent positions largely due to the experience in teaching classes under
this emergency project. Hidden teaching ability lias been brought to light
in many cases through this opportunity given to persons who though highly
qualified in their knowledge of subject natter, but with no previous
teaching experience.
Trp.de and Technical Subjects - (Women): About one hundred and fifty
(l5C) teachers were employed in teaching - Sewing, Cooking, Ncedlocraft,
Seat Weaving, Millinery, Textile Mending, Garment Pressing, Tailoring. The ro~
suLv achieved here proved of value both vocationally and as direct help to
those who have to do with the problems of home-making, and was also res-
ponsible for some pupils receiving employment as well as widening the
field of opportunity for the teachers.

The aim of Parent Education is to bring adults up to date in
their thinking about child growth and development, human behavior, family
relationships, health, and social and economic problems as they relate
to family life. In other words, Parent Education is a special approach
to Adult Education from the standpoint of parent interests, needs and re-
sponsibilities.
These needs, carefully investigated by the Superintendent of
Schools and his committee composed of Parent-teacher Association Execu-
tive Board members and teachers, were expressed and met as follows:
Pro-cchool needs to be met in playgroups for children while
mothers study at:
Atlantic City - with four teachers, two white and two colored,
three with nursery school background and one with speech training. Moth-
ers learn by doing, talcing turns in the play group and keeping home made
files of recipes, gardening hints, current events, and handcrafts. Moth-
ers have learned to help speech defects at home. The work in Atlantic
City has been greatly aided by the fine cooperation of the Supervisor of
Primary Education, who expects a much bettor entering class in September
because of the Parent Education this year.
Perth Amboy - one teacher with large garden space near the for-
eign section has met the needs for better inter-racial relations.
Bayonnc - one teacher in a foreign section where there is no nur-
sery school.
Unadjusted children's needs met by calling together all parents
of members of grades showing large percentage of maladjustment, at:
Lakewood - one teacher - arranged groups for parents in rural
643
PARENT EDUCATION (Continued)
sections, even as far as five miles out from the school.
Manas quan - two teachers - made detailed studies in mental test-
ing and learned that their sixth grade class had largest number of unad-
justed children, so one meeting was hold for parents of sixth grade
children.
Perth Amboy - six teachers -weekly forums over a period of
throe months under the leadership of lawyers, schoolmen, recorders, Ju-
venile delinquent supervisors, rocroation leaders, and State. Supervisor
of Parent Education, have reached the problems of all classes in Perth
Amboy. The Parent Education teachors have also hold very successful
group meetings of second grade mothers, sixth grade mothers, junior high
school mothers and high school mothers. At these meetings there was the
hearty cooperation of teachors, school nurse and parents.
Bayonne - nine teachers, three day school teachors and six young
Normal School graduates. A child study bureau has been formed. Weekly
conferences of members of the child study bureau are held with the " •
school psychologist, school nurse and doctor, parental homo probation
officor, police court representative, and representatives from the church
welfare societies. Groups of forbign women arc meeting at the school to
the amazement and satisfaction of school principals. The homes of many
Bayonne Children have been made much happier, and two or three broken
homes have been mended. Better inter-racial relations have also been " ■>
promoted. Parent Education in Bayonne has had the hearty cooperation
and support of Superintendent Smith.
Child guidance needs at:
Elizabeth - three teachers. Elizabeth teachers have developed
child study classes.
Training in family relationships at:
Cliffsido - one teacher, has a comprehensive and balanced pro-
gram of groups in family relations. She has succeeded in bringing to-
gether parents with very different social backgrounds. In studying the
adolescent, family problems arc airod in an impersonal way.
West Creek - one teacher, has done an outstanding piece of work
in rural education. She has brought cheer and hope to people who had
never crossed Main Street. She has helped them plan their flower gar-
dens, paper their houses, file magazine articles, dress and food their
children. She has greatly raised the moral standards. West Creek ac-
tivities in Adult Education were centered on the Parent Education Ap-
proach.
Plcasantville - one colored teacher, with a home nursing back-
ground and experience, did just as fine a piece of work in building bet-
ter family relations for the Italians and Jews as for the negroes. She
cooperated with the school nurse by bringing groups of parents to school
649

to study health and by interesting then in filing clippings and preparing
an exhibit. Another teacher was most interested in groups for the working
mother, the Sunday School teachers, and practical helps for the underpriv-
ileged parent. She helped make a fine exhibit of Parent Education work in
Plcasantvillc .
Need for Ilcntal Hygiene at:
Wdnamassa - one teacher using mental hygiene for Parent Education
in releasing parents through music and art.
Survey of prc-school needs at:
Red Bank - throe teachers, who are interested in securing the
factual basis for sound community planning and action in the development
of Parent Education.
Parent Education has made a place for itself in every community in
which it has boon inaugurated. Communities arc seeking a permanent child
study bureau, and Parent -tcachor Associations have learned nany valuable
techniques from these trained workers* Schoolmen claim that group work
vdth parents is far superior in solving adjustment problems to individual

The New Jersey Literacy Project of the Works Progress Administration
has endeavored to serve two general major purposes:
(a) To develop or to increase facility in the use
of the English language; speaking, reading,
writing-in that order of importance-among
underprivileged foreign born or American born
adults.
(b) To assist in the adjustment of the foreigs
born to American ideas and ideals of healthful,
happy living, working and citizensnip.
The -project has reached widely diverse types varying from non-
English speaking ^dults, illiterate in their native language, to univer-
sity graduates, who have studied English in their native countries but
wish to perfect its use. Both day and evening classes h^ve been held
in homes "s in Bayonne and Cliffside Park, in club centers as in Roebling,
in Y. M. H, A. and Y. W, C. A. centers as in Paterson and in other similar
meeting places, as well as school buildings.
Home classes serve chiefly groups of women who because of native
tradition, or of little children, or of small home-shops cannot readily
attend regular centers. In some communities where school buildings were
not made available, home classes were opened for both men and women. It
is obvious that in some of these classes both content and English usage
are important; in othews it is only necessary to release, by developing
facility in English, knowledge of a high order acquired in native lands.
Citizenship privileges and duties per so, as well as preparation for
naturalization proceedings, have been the content for many classes. The
aim has boon to present American ideals, to admit our shortcomings, and
to stimulate new or coming citizens to an appreciation of their share in
helping America realize her ideals so that we may benefit by their pre-
sence. Reports requested by the State Department of Public Instruction
651
LITERACY EDUCATION (Continued)
indicate that sone thirty-seven districts conducted classes for literacy,
"Americanization11 or "foreign torn" groups, including about, 229 classes.
These figures are probably much below the actual totals, for some districts
failed to report, and cany districts reported such classes under heads not
readily recognized as literacy croups, e.g.: elementary, ungraded, general
English, reading and writing groups, special English, conversational
English, etc. This was done sometimes to avoid the stigma certain areas
found to be attached to the phrase foreign born, Americanization or
literacy, and sometimes doubtless to avoid the lower rate of remuneration
paid such tenchers, it being maintained th°t such classes no more deserve
the term elementary and its accompanying lower wage than do beginning
German, French or Spanish in high school and general adult education
classes. The literacy classes for Negroes hnve their own supervisors,
but wherever such classes were found they were assisted, the teachers
were always included in plans for the meetings, and their groups "were
reported to their State Supervisors for further contacts.
Regional and county teachers' meetings were held in Rah-.7ay, New
Brunswick, Pleasantville, Vineland, Paterson, Jersey City, Newark, and
Hillside, and local groups have been met in nearly every center employing
a number of teachers, including Newark, Montclair, Hoboken, Bayonne, Jersey
City, Union City, Hillside, ^renton, Somerville, Camden, Atlantic City,
Garfield, Elizabeth, Perth Amboy, Manas quan. Individual conferences with
teachers were held at schools and at the Hackensack office. Thirty-six
bulletins of from one to five pages of sample material and instruction
sheets have been prepared and distributed to teachers with Federal
Bulletin "Educational Requirements for Citizenship." One hundred and
fifty-two sample texts, reference books, work books and periodicals,
useful in this field, have been assembled at the office for the teachers'
use and have been carried to major conferences.

The Statewide School Nursing Project, a transfer from the
Emergency Relief x\dministration, began >perating under the Works Progress
Administration as of November 15, 1935. Graduate registered nurses and
Junior stenographers were assigned for work in rural and urban centers
whero no, or inadequate, school nursing service existed. Various phases
of school nursing were '.eveloped, and are continuing in fourteen counties.
The nature of health sup rvision precludes the setting up of units f work
which may be cor/ 1 t within a specified period of time.
During the period of November 15, 1935 - June 1, '1936 service was
receiver! by 133 scho 1 districts including 397 schools and 66,987 pupils.
In each school, individual hoalth records have been brought up-to-date,
physicians have been assistel with health examinations, an-1 parents noti-
fied of children's health handicaps and assistel in having them removed.
Individual anr? group social welfare and health agencies have been approached
in an endeavor to prove the health status of pupils. Teachers have been
advised of ^unils needs and assisted in improving the school environment.

This has proven to be an exceedingly worthwhile year, from the
standpoint of accomplishment in each of the twenty-eight nursery schools
scattered throughout the State, (ireat stress has been placed on health
education with both the children in the schiols and their parents. The
accompanying health chart shows at a glance the splendid strides that
have been made al >ng that me line.
At the end of • tonth, the head teacher in every Unit writes
to the State Supervisor a "newsy" letter (rather than a formal report)
telling of the outstanding happenings for the month in her school. The
best of these letters is chosen, copied and sent into every Unit through-
out the State.
The educational value to members of the teaching staff derived
from this procedure is M)Vi ;us and the interest that is being taken by
the various head teachers in formulating these letters each month,
splendid, I shall vise sxcerpts from these monthly letters for the basis
of this report, for they illustrate perfectly the real accomplishments
being made in the various see Is in both child guidance and parent
education.
BXCSRTTS FROI-I RirORTS
"Y/e have trio 1 to make our children "traffic light" conscious.
On our way to the boardwalk, wo wait for the re-1, li~ht at each corner be-
fore crossing the street. During Safety V7eok, we had a few discussions
about the lights, and ab :ut being careful at street corners. Y/e visited
the fire-house. The slide pole which the men use instea:1 jf stairs im-
pressed then very much. '.'Jc also had a few school fire-drills in which our
children participated."
655
EMERGENCY NURSERY SCHOOLS (Continued)
"Two of the parents visited the school last week. They were
especially impressed by the eagerness with which all the children took
the cod-liver oil and orange juice. They thought this quit3 remarkable
since they had always experienced so much difficulty in coaxing their
children to take cod-liver oil before they attanded the nursery school.
Also they were surprised to see the poise \:ith which the children poured
their fruit juices from the little pitcher provided for this purpose."
"Parents and observers are astonished at the independence of our
children. People will not give children credit for their own intelligence
and abilities. The mothers are beginning to realize that even the two
year old can be taught to do certain things for himself and is not com-
pletely helpless and dependent. The children are learning to say "please"
and "thank you", "good morning" and to shake hands and say "good-bye"
when they leave."
"All of our children even down to our youngest can undress and
dress themselves. Most all of them can lace up their shoes and put on
their galoshes."
Our four year olds are becoming quite efficient at helping to
set the table and serving trays. The children take turns and two of the
children assist each day. They also help to put away the folded blankets,
and to hang up the clean face clothes and towels. Each day one of the four
year olds goes to the mail box in the office to get our mail."
"Our" train" project has been growing a pace this month. Crates
were transformed into passenger cars, coal car, engine, to accomodate a
large group. Guod dramatic play ensued — amidst calls of "all aboard" and
"choo-choo-choo" an engineer was always available to transport a "family"
to any given destination, preferably New York City. Arriving in the city
the train would be abandened while the "mother" showed her children the
sights, culminating generally in ice-cream cones for all, and then the re-
turn trip in the train."
"The. nursery school is becoming more and more popular. Friends who
teach in the public schools have told of numerous bulletins they receive
praising the work done by the nursery schools and the fact that it is de-
cidedly a growing concept in modern education. "
"The children' s response to the various things has been of the
most satisfactory results. The children, even the two year olds, are
learning to dross and undress themselves with very little or no assistance,
taking great pride in the accomplishments."
"Two mothers visited us one morning and told us they were much
impressed by the fact that each child seemed to know just what he or she
should do at the appointed time and each child was learning how to mix
well with other children."
656
a»ESG37CY lJUHSSRI' SCEOOIS (Continued)
"We decided that we needed some markers to toll us just how far
our playground extended. The children helped us make and paint nice red
circles like the red lights in the street. V.re learned very quickly that
wo must stay inside the lights err1, stop when we see one, just as we do
when we see one in the street. We have tried other things to koep them
in bounds, but this has worked wonders and I think a great deal is due
to the fact that the children helped make their signs."
"I was talking to a mother of one of our little colored girls,
Betty, ago 3 years. "Voluntarily she said, "I want to tell you hex; much
I appreciate what you are doing for Betty at nursery school. Betty used
to be just a bc.by at hone and I did everything for her. Since going to .....
school she has gotten so that she wants to do everything for herself and
keeps insisting 'I can put on my own coat', and 'Let me do that1. Her
eating has been much better too."
"Our parents are showing more interest each day in :>ur nursery
school and the wonderful aid it is giving their children. They are
constantly reminding us of their various appreciations. Practically every
parent has something different for which to thank us."
"In the circle peri d, which is held at vorious times, the
children are learning the primary colors an1 ore taught by matching colored
circles with objects of the some color. The older children have learned
to recognize the letters in their names when shown."
"All of the children have gained in weight and we fin! that the
children who attended school last winter have very slight or no colds this
winter. This is a definite proof that the food, rest anc! cod-liver oil
have raised their resistance."
The above excerpts show plainly that the real aims of a Nursery
School program - namely - the safeguarding of a child's health, establish-
ment of good habits in child and socialization >f the child, are being
carried out in our Emergency Nursery Sen ; Is and that excellent results
are already forthcoming.
There are approximately 750 children receiving those benefits from
our Emergency Nursery School program in Nov; Jersey.

NURSERY SCHOOLS
SUMMARY OF HEVT JERSEY hORKS PROG.RE3S ADMINISTRATION
EMERGENCY NURSERY SCHOOLS
When Susan, at the age of two years nine months, was brought into
our Emergency Nursery School last year in October 1935, both she and her
parents presented the workers in that Nursery School with a multitude
of problems.
The Smiths, as we shall call the family, had started married life
five year 3 before in a three room apartment in a tenement section of one of
our larger cities* Unfortunately as the family grew in numbers, the
size of their living quarters remained stationary, so that whey they
were brought to our attention, there were eight persons living in the
family group - all huddled together in the same three tenement house
rooms. The family group consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their three
children (ages four, two and three quarter and one and one-half years)
Mrs. Smith's mother and middle aged Uncle and Mr. Smith's youngest
brother. We mention this merely to bring to your attention the wide range
of ages represented in this group - a situation which in itself would
make living difficult - but coupled with this the fact that they were
all crowded together in three small, dark, dingy rooms.
Was it any wonder that Susan at first definitely refused to join
the other children in the Nursery in their afternoon nap»; This little
bundle of nerves had never known the real meaning of rest and every inch
of her aenemic, scabby, undernourished little body cried aloud for proper
food, rest, care and attention.
Mrs. Smith was most reluctant to bring Susan to the Nursery
because "it was so much bother" but Mr. Smith, whose ideas and ideals
in life were quite different from those of his wife, had learned of the
work of the Emergency Nursery Schools and insisted that curly haired
Susan who was his pride and joy be brought to school every morning.
To watch not only the magnificent transformation in Susan in the
year that followed but also the almost unbelievable change in the attitude
and behavior of the adults in Susan's family was a real privilege and
joy.
And what were sone of the techniques and procedures which changed
Susan in that period of ten months from an ill tempered, undernourished,
unattractive little girl into the rosy cheeked, happy, thoroughly ador-
able little leader she is in her Nursery School group today-
First of all the daily health inspection of eyes, ears, nose, throat,
body and head cleanliness brought us our first triumph. Susan's mother
through tactful, earnest work by our nurse was brought for the first
time in her life to see the real need and reasons for cleanliness and
has become a "positive expert" in cleaning up not only Susan but the
entire family and their living quarters.
Regular daily doses of cod liver oil and fruit juice together
659
with the cooked mid day meal V7bich is specially planned by a person trained
in diatetics have "been contributing factors in bringing Susan's weight
up to normal. It has been most interesting to see Mrs. Smiths' interest
in correct foods develop through her contacts with our housekeeper. A
copy of the mid day dinner we will feed the children for the entire week
is prepared and taken into the hones with suggestions for well balanced
brerkfasts and suppers to. supplement this meal. New ways we have suggested
preparing food for the entire family have intrigued both Mrs. Smith and
her Mother - with the result that meal tine has become nore than "eating
tine" at the Sniths1.
The outdoor play period each norning where Susan exercises the
muscle of her growing little body on the climbing frames, see-saws, swings,
walking plankes etc., has done much to aid in her development.
The daily afternoon nap has long since become a definite part of
Susan's day and you may imagine our joy when the Head Teachur visited Mrs.
Smith in her home one afternoon around 2:00 P.M. a few months ago and found
the other two children tucked away taking their nap - something which was
unheard of in the Smith family until Nursery School entered their lives.
These are only a few of the procedures which are being used in the
Emergency Nursery Schools to help build strong bodies and minds in the
future citizens of America.
We are constantly confronted with a multiplication of Susan and her
parents and realize our task is a most responsible one.
New Jersey is proud to have served over seven hundred children
in the past year in her Emergency Nursery Schools and feels that this
training represents the "ounce of prevention" which the old adage tells
us is better tlrn a "pound of cure".

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF, THE
HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY
The purpose of this Survey, which is National in character,
is to investigate, compile the histories, measure and draw up the plans t
elevations and details of the important historic and antique buildings
of the United States which are rapidly disappearing. Comparatively
tew of these structures are saved by being preserved as museums or for
exhibition purposes. All others will disappear into unrecorded oblivi-
on through destruction or. economic causes, -unless recorded through the
means of this Historic American Buildings Survey and filed in the Li-
brary of Congress as a permanent public record.
The task of preserving records of these historic monuments of
America has become a work of vital necessity and a responsibility of
the American people. Recognizing these conditions the National Park
Service, Department of the Interior; the American Institute of Architects
and the Library of Congress entered into an agreement to form a perman-
ent organization for the continuation of the Historic American Buildi-
ngs Survey, which had been launched as a National plan in November 1933
and operated as a Federal project for a few months under a Civil Works
Appropriation and continued in 1934 under the Emergency Relief Admini-
stration, and in 1935 under the Works Progress Administration. This
permanent organization to have the approval and disposition of all
future graphic records and function through the cooperation of the
Park Service, the Institute and the Library.
When the Survey records are completed they are deposited in
the Library of Congress and as permanent records will be accessible
to the public for research purposes*
661-a
The general scope of the Historic American Buildings Survey
contemplates measuring and recording the complete field of early Ameri-
can Architecture from the earliest aboriginal structures to the latest
■buildings of the Greek revival period. The date 1860, selected as a
final terminus, is more or less arbitrary as there may be individual
buildings of a later date of a character worth recording.
The Federal Government through the Parks Service provides
standard sheets for the drawings together with supplies for filing the
historical data, and all labor and necessary travel expenses. Other
supplies are furnished by the 7/ORKS PHOGRESS aDLIINISTRATION. All
office space, drafting tables, furniture, heat and light are provided
free through the sponsorship of the New Jersey Chapter A, I. A. whose
architect members are acting as Supervisors of the Survey and who
donate their own offices or find space free of cost elsewhere.
This Survey has proven of immediate benefit in educating the
public to the need of preserving and restoring if possible those buildi-
ngs which are rich in historic associations and as such must be con-
sidered a heritage to be preserved for future generationse
This Survey will develop graphic and authentic data which will
provide records for all time preservation of the State's historic and
antique buildings and will thus be a form of insurance against the
loss to posterity of the buildings and structures which were a part
of the Nation's early history, and will also illustrate our cultural
growth and development
This Survey will provide historic records for the use of our
public schools, libraries, museums and colleges and will also provide
data from which future restorations nay be made by the State or Govern-
ment of those buildings which might well be preserved as typifying
momentous historic work.
To date 1324 drawings, 121 field books, 98 histories, 257
photographs have been forwarded to the Library of Congress in

This Project has practically completed one portion of its work.
Inventories of the county offices have been ordered completed by June 15
and editing of these inventories will be completed by June 30.
There are a minimum of four workers in each of the 21 counties in
New Jersey, with a maximum of 28 in the more densely populated counties,
such as Hudson and Essex, and in the State Editorial Office. There is
also a staff of workers in every State Government Office in Trenton. This
makes a grand total of 211 working on this interesting Project.
In order to facilitate the work the Assistant State Director makes
regular trips to every county seat, especially where work is lagging, and
checks on the reasons for the delay. This has been found to be more ef-
fective than issuing instructions by letter. Workers fire more enthused
when a personal interest in their problems is taken by an executive.
During the inventory work in the office of the Court of Chancery
at the capital, a very famous and valuable historical document was dis-
covered. This document had been missing over fifty years. The Slizabeth-
town Bill of Chancery was filed on April 15, 1745. It consists of 16
large pieces of parchment, each approximately three feet wide and two feet
long; written in close script on both sides of sheet. It is the work of
James Alexander, one of the great characters in the early history of New
Jersey and New York. He was a member of the Council, Board of Proprietors,
Naval Officer of the Port of Perth .amboy, and its first recorder. He
served as Surveyor General, King's Attorney and in other public offices.
He was a lawyer with an extensive practice that included the famous John
Peter Zenger case on the freedom of the press. He was in business in New
York, as was his wife, each charging the other for interchanges of credits.
He was one of the founders of the American Philosophical Society together
with Benjamin Franklin.
For a period of seven years before filing the bill, he gathered
GGX
HISTORIC*! RECORDS SURVEY ( Cont i nued)
the early history of the Province, traced the land titles and incorporat-
ed them in this document. In 1747, James Parker of I7oodbridge, Hew
Jersey's first official printer, published the Bill in a largo folio
volume of 178 pages. The original diaries and minutes of Alexander's
transactions aro in the Now Joraoy and Now York Historical Societies.
About forty years ago, Joseph P. Bradley, then an old New Jersey
lawyer, stated that many years prior to that time, he had seen the bill
being cut in strips oy a junior clerk in the office and used for writs.
Since then it has been missing. The bill was found in the vault of the
Chancery Court between the top of a filing cabinet and the ceiling. It
was immediately taken to the office of the Chancellor and reposes in his
safe .
The Historical Records Survey has also found an early lav/, -
1673 - with the signature of the then governor and Secretary of the Pro-
vince. Several other laws have been found. The ancient laws of the
State have been put up in dustproof packages after careful checking and
inventory.
The Public Record Office of the State is being inventoried for the
first time. Such state offices as Adjutant General's Bureau of Vital
Statistics, and Courts of Chancery and Supreme Court arc also being
catalogued.
A strong effort is being made to inventory private collections and
give the future historians, researchers and students, a guide post to the
location of hitherto unknown material. The Stevens Collection at Hobokon
has opened a new vista to materials relating to prices at the time of the
Revolution.
.aside from revealing lost records and compiling inventories of
historical material, this project has dopictcd the evolution of the United
States into the great nation it is, and has stimulated the interest of tho
people conroctod with it. Many of our workers have indicated that a con-
tinuance of these efforts will become either their vocation or their
evocation. Such interest and enthusiasm carries beyond mere personal or
political boundaries and cannot be measured in value by the customary
yardstick of monetary units.

The Federal Writers' Project of New Jersey is State Wide in its
scope, and operates in all nine districts, into which the State is
divided, with Editorial and Administrative offices located in Newark.
This makes eleven projects in all, and at the present time the Writers'
Froject has 191 people working all over the State, 138 men and 53
women. For a period of five months, previous to this time, 257 people
were carried on the payroll.
This state wide effort was under the direction of Mrs. Irene
Fuhlbruegge. Through her leadership, the dummy of the New Jersey
State Guide was sent to Washington on May 15, for inclusion in the
National "American Guide".
To show the work involved, over ten million words were written
and sent to the District Offices, to he rewritten and edited. From
the District Offices this edited material was sent to the State
Editorial Office in Newark for further correction and classification.
In the sane accurate way, State Tour3 were laid out and mileage
checked and re-checked. The tours included in the Guide not only cover
the whole state of Jersey, hut have been joined with those of other
States to thus form a complete picture. Points of interest and all
important cities, town and villages have also been thoroughly written
up. This all required an indefatigable enthusiasm and concentration
from all members of the project.
New Jersey is a state with a picturesque, historical background,
and the vast number of interesting and historical facts which this
Project brought to light were not only printed in the New Jersey
papers, but also appeared in the newspapers of other states.
Following is a complete table of contents of the New Jersey
Guide which was forwarded to Washington.

HAIL, AMERICA /
Beacon through the darkness gleamingj
Guide- star of the earth's oppressed*
Token of the world's redeeming*
By thy radiance all are blessed.
Fervently we pledge to thee
Life, and deathless loyalty.
Nation of supreme devotion
To forlorn humanity J
Staunch assailant of oppression*
Fount and store of Liberty I
Great Defender, slow to wrath,
Manhood's hopes attend thy path.
On thee rests ~ur sure reliance;
In thy valor we rejoice;
Despots fear when thy defiance
Speeds on Freedom's thrilling voice.
Mighty champion of the free,
Hail, America, to theeJ

FEDERAL ART PROJECT - NEW JERSEY
Official Project #65-22-1699
Work Project #104-135
State Serial #7000-7001
Description & Location: Statewide - Federal Art Project*
Sponsor: Federal Government.
Federal Funds: $34,000.00
Number Employed: 122 persons.
SOCIAL ASPECTS
There are aspects of the Federal Art Project in New Jersey which
facts and figures could never reveal. For instance, for the first time
in the history of the country, the' artist is acknowledged to be a citizen,
valuable to the community and worthy of support. Therefore, one can assume
that an appreciation of the aesthetic has begun to bo folt by the average
layman. Socondly: The work of the artist has acquired significance in the
democratic world. It has boon made available to all tax-supported insti-
tutions so that children end adults find it a part of their every-day en-
vironment, whereas formerly, art was spelt with a capital A and relegated
to museums or became the property of wealthy patrons only.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
There are few types of public buildings which have not availed them-
selves of the opportunity offerod by the Federal Art Project. Public
Schools, Hospitals, County Court Houses, Libraries, and Mini ci pal Build-
ings, havj received thousands of dollars worth of art work at a very minor
cost to themselves, i.e., merely the actual cost of the paint, canvas,
brushes, etc. The fact that more requests for works of art have come in
than can possibly bo filled augurs v/ell for tho reception given to com-
pleted projects.
MOST INTERESTING PROJECTS
One of the largest projects, employing 11 artists and craftsmen, is
to be formally presented to the New Brunswick Court House. It is logical
that sculptural work of this nature should havo been undertaken in a locality
where the terra cotta industry has been functioning sinco the beginning of
Now Jersey history. There arc 12 panels representing Wisdom, Prudence,
Temp.irence, etc., and there is an exquisite frieze of beautifully modelled
festoons of fruits and flowers, 260 feet long. Six medallions of oak and
laurel l^avos surround the base of the electric light fixtures. The
Boar:1 of Freeholders has taken an active interest and has paid for the cost
of materials. Other sculptural work has boon installed in a Perth Amboy

High School (three very handsome low-relief panels showing students of all
nations turning toward a figure representing Education) and low relief
panels are being designed for public schools in Jersey City and also
Paterson.
EFFECT ON CHILDREN
Plato said that the average person, if surrounded by masterpieces
of art and architecture, "would imbibe a sense of decency and good taste."
The effect on the children of the State, after contact with these works
of art, will be of great value in their upbringing.
I.URAL PAINTINGS
Mural Paintings are also being designed for school buildings. The*
include a series of charming nursery rhyme panels for the kindergartens of
Camden, executed in lovely pastel tones. The kindergarten of the James
Russel Lowell School in Teaneck will receive an arched panel of two little
children in a meadow, surrounded by butterflies, flowers and birds, painted
to portray exactly the objects represented so that the children may learn
to name them. The children of one of the schools for crippled children in
Newark also will find many familiar friends from fairy'tales and fables on
the walls of their class-room arranged in an interesting design of unusual
originality.
CAPE MAY EXPERIMENT
The Schools of Cape May offer no art classes of any sort to the
children of the County. Thus, an Art Education Project is fulfilling
a very great need in that locality.. Within two weeks after its inception,
150 children and adults were attending classes and more are seeking ad-
mission continually. Classes are held in various towns to make it possible
for these people to attend. Instruction is given in art appreciation, wood-
carving, painting and sculpture. It is interesting to not« that an intro-
duction to the whole rich and beautiful work of art is only open to the
very poor of the County, and it is to bo hoped that this pioneer work will
prove to be an inspiration to the school boards in establishing art educa-
tion in the schools. A very active group of interested citizens, organized
into an Art League, have been the cheif sponsor of the project.
VERONA SANITORIUM
A Mural Painting which ranks with the finest ever executed under
private auspices or at great cost, is in process of creation on the walls of
the Verona Mountain Sanitorium. Covering several hundred square feet of tho
walls of the Dining Hall, it v/ill be a sourve of great pleasure and inspira-
tion to tho patients, and it is probable that visitors from all over the
country will seek permission to view it.

Federal Art Project - New Jersey - P. 3
NEWARK AIRPORT
Wings over the V/orld is a subject of vital current interest. The
aspiration of man's soul to FLY has brought about a record of repeated
failures, of triumphs, of death and destruction, of glorious adventure
and amazing scientific invention. All this will be depicted on the walls
of the Newark Airport. A new technique to suit new forms will bo used; n
combination of painting and photo-murals; dynamic forms as opposed to static,
plastic, rhythms evolved from aeronautic experience will appear in design and
composition. Romantic episodes such as a balloon ascension made during
Benjamin Franklin's visit to Franco will also bo part of the series of murals.
INDEX OF DESIGN
Thirty Artists arc ongagod in work on this project. They are scatter-
ed all over the Stato and are working in Hudson, Essex, Middlesex, Mon-
mouth, Morris, Hunterdon, Somerset, Burlington, Camden and Cape May Counties.
Speci'.l emphasis is being given to the early industries of the State, i.e.,
Metal Objects, Glass and Pottery making, etc. Its purpose is to record
material of traditional and historical significance which has not heretofore
been easily available for comprehensive study; material, which, because of
its perishable naturo stands in danger of being lost. It is not an historic
compilation only, but it is to serve a functional purpose for the inspira-
tion of artists, students and designers of the current tines and curront
ideology. The belief i3 held that wherever we find design as an integral
part of a locality, an expression of American culture is undoubtedly to
bo found. It will be a fascinating treasure hunt, this intensive research
for examples of design, some quite ignored and neglected for years and
thoir sourcos in many cases totally unknown to the majority of the public.
WHAT OF THE ARTIST
A man 65 years old hitch-hikes 40 miles to a district office. Ho
is to bo dispossessed that week. A few years ago he was the owner of a
successful business. Tho salo of this was effected and he expectdd to retire
in comfort for tho rest of his life. Crooked dealing and lav/suits wiped
out everything and left him destitute. However, as a young man he had
painted china and samples of exquisite craftsmanship convinced tho represent-
ative of the Federal Art Project that he could be useful to the Index of
Design. He was employed and fror. the first has turned in drawings which
wore so beautifully exocuted that they wore accepted at once, without the
usup.1 training givon the artists on these projects. He and his wife have
been able to keep their hone, and it is apparent to anyone seeing him that
he has become adjustod to this work calling for the skill of his hand and
eye. There are rainy others like hin; artists whose morale have nearly gone
but who have becono rehabilitated through the art project. It is surely
r.uch less exponsivo to do it by this neans than to send then to hospitals
for care and treatment as psychiatric cases. Not only are they brought back
t; thoir fornor 3killfulnoss, but by the friendly cooperation of supervising
artists and experts, they are educated in sone instances, t o a further point
than they have ever achieved. Occasionally an artist leaves the project
for private and perranent work. It is probable that the exhibitions which
663-c
Federal Art Project - New Jersey - P. 4
will be shown from time to time will attract the attention of the public
to the work of certain artists, and that further offers for private employ-
ment will be forthcoming.
Thus, the project fulfills a three -fold purpose: (l) Rehabilita-
tion and education :>f the artists and possibilities for private employment
through exhibitions; (2) The beautificati jn )f public buildings; (3) An
aroused interest in art on the part of the public.

The W.P.A. Project calling for the painting of 17 murals for the
Kindergarten Department of Sharp, Yorksfcin and Whittier Schools in the
City of Camden. This v/ork involves an artistic portrayal of Nursery
rhymes and imaginative stories for children. The Project was originally
operated under the E.R.a..
The result of the work being done was to make more attractive
Kindergarten classrooms of Camden's Elementary schools. The wlurals will
serve the purpose as basic in the informal teaching of reading, and story
telling, also will serve the purpose in appealing to the imagination of
children which from a psychological standpoint is basically sound.
Operations were started under the 7J.F- X. on l\'ovcmbcr 6, 1935 and
the work was completed on the Project about April 20, 1935.
The Board of Education have several times commented very favorably
regarding the work that was done.

SUMMARY FOR ALL COUNTIES
Recreation Projects operated by the Division of Women's &
Professional Projects ->f the Works Progress Administration are pro-
viding the people of the State with opportunities for constructive
use of their leisure. The aim of the program has been primarily to
provide opportunities for the employment of those eligible and
qualified to serve as recreation workers, to aid the unemployed in
constructive use of their enforced leisure, to help reduce delin-
quency, and assist in making the community attractive to the indiv-
idual.
The medium used by the w.P.A. Recreation- Section to attain
these ends was the creation of a well-planned diversified program of
recreation, providing every opportunity for the promotion of one's
hobbies and interests by participation in physical, mental, cultural,
educational, social, and creative activities. The program being
based nn the principles of community organization, its develop-
ment has been sound and every effort has been made to place the
responsibility more and more on the community and less ^n the Fed-
eral Government. The response has demonstrated that a great many
of the individuals of the communities are recognizing the problem of
leisure, not only as a by-product of the depression, but as one which
has come to stay.
Throughout the State, there are 337 sponsoring committees
located in approximately the same number of communities who have
undertaken the planning of the program to meet specific needs,
supplying funds for facilities and equipment, and tho far more
important responsibility of persuading school boards to permit the
use of school buildings and grounds after school hours. With their
assistance, we have been able to obtain the use of 758 facilities
throughout the State.
While we' realize that figures very inadequately portray work
of this type, still a partial picture may be obtained by the fact
that 2,060,551 individuals under the age of sixteen and 1,441,176
over the age of sixteen have participated in our program to date.
To keep our workers abreast with the work of their
assignment, regular staff meetings and schools of instruction are
held in each county. Our instructors are qualified to teach the
following subjects: Art & Crafts; Physical Activities; Social
Dancing; Special Dancing; Choral; Music; Dramatics; Quoit Games,
Oral Groups; Community Nights.' These activities are conducted in
each of the counties in which we are operating.

The Federal Theatre Project of the T7PA produced 13 plays during
the months of February to June 1, 1936. These performances, numbering 174
and attended by more than 258,400 persons included professional work in
full length plays, Marionette shows and vaudeville bills.
The Project is divided into seven separate projects, with six
different headquarter cities, covering nine counties in the State.
Those counties whose relief rolls did not show sufficient qualified
professional theatre people to warrant a theatre project have not been dis-
regarded. Such qualified people as they did nave were taken onto the pro-
ject nearest their County. Our plays have been looked through these
counties in order that they might benefit by the Federal Theatre Project
through our performances.
There are nine companies giving legitimate full length plays, one
State-wide Marionette Troupe, five vaudeville units (one colored), two of
which are integral parts of the legitimate troupes, their members play-
ing small parts as needed with an occasional performer having the dual
ability of being a stage technician and a vaudevillian.
Of these companies we have an all negro legitimate company in
Newark and one in Camden, which also is capable of putting on a full
evening of revue numbers or vaudeville acts. In Newark we also have an
Italian speading unit presenting plays in Italian.
The thirteen plays produced to date have ocen carried in repertory
over periods ranging from ten performances to three months bookings. The
plays given include BROKEN DISHES and THE NIGHTCAP by the Jersey City
companies; BROTHER MOSS by the colored unit of Newark; Lh. SANTARELLA
by the Italian speaking company of Newark; ONCE A CROOK by what we might
term the white unit; THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR and THE PATSY by the Hackensack
Unit and SMILING THROUGH, THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH and THREE CORNERED MOON by
668
FEDERAL THEATRE PROJECT (Continued)
the Asbury Park Company.
At the present writing, L*FF THAT OFF is being rehearsed by the
Newark second "White" company; COME SEVEN "by the colored unit of Camden
and 'THE LAST MNING and the CCC CLaiP MURDER MYSTERY by the Pater son Unit.
Jersey City plans to put one or two more plays into rehearsal
shortly to replace their two current bills which have run three and a half
months apiece. The Newark colored company will soon start rehearsing an
original script written by one of the project workers of the Now York
3ureau of Rosearch & Publication Division. Other companies plan changes
of bill for the summer months.
During the winter and spring months, our paid performances were
given for the most part throughout the State in Halls, school auditoriums
and such places as could boast of adequate stage facilities. Only eight
performances have boon givon in regular union theatres. Free performances
have been given at CCC Camps (40 performances) asylums for the insane,
hospitals, homes for crippled children, for the blind and other under-
privileged groups.
For such paid performances as we had the admission charges varied
from $1.00 top through 10 cents with the average admission charge ranging
from 25^ for children through 40^ on legitimate full length plans and
vaudeville bills to 10^ for children and twenty-five cents for adult3 for
the Marionette Show.
During the summer months we have plays under way to meet the usual
summer slump of shor; business. If the people won't go to the Theatre in
the hot months, the Federal Theatre in New Jersey must go to them. Begin-
ning July 5th the Marionette Troupe will make its headquarters in a little
theatre building in the heart of Olympic Park in Irvington, N. J. A
stone's throw away from the swimming pool and the "caterpillar" the troupe
will do their three and "four a day". Negotiations arc being made to ac-
quire a tent for the Hackensack Company to play under, touring through
Bergen County and perhaps into nearby counties which have no theatre pro-
ject. Jersey City will alternate with performances on a Show Boat docked
at Hoboken (where the New York City Federal Theatre Project plans to give
vaudeville and revue bills) with tours into the lake resort towns of "North
Jersey.
The Camdon companies have built a very practical and thoroughly
adequate portable stage which thoy plan to transport from place to place
in South Jersey, setting up shop in stadia and other outdoor gathering
places making " community nights" the keynote of their appeal for summer
crowds. Asbury Park will cater to the resort towns and summer vacationers
of the South Jersey shore.

Task involved in Work & Details:
Work consists of playing with the school children during recrea-
tion and physical training periods; teaching new games; suppress-
ing any tendency to play too roughly; promoting co-operation and
good-will on the playgrounds; and taking care of playground equip-
ment. This last includes repairing any articles broken, cleaning
those that have become soiled, etc.
Date Started: November 18, 1935 and as originally planned, is now approxi-
mately 95p completed. There will be a definite need for
this project during the next school year.
It is gratifying to note that very few accidents have occurred on
the school grounds during the period that this project has been in opera-
tion. There has not been a single accident of serious proportions.

The thirty-four Projects of the W.P.i*. Federal Music Project in
the State of New Jersey consist of forty-three units embracing one
symphony and cloven concert orchestras, four symphonic hands, twenty- two
dance orchestras, one opera company and three music libraries. Included
in the above arc four orchestras assigned to work in the Federal Theatre
Project. From the end of January (the date that accurate figures began
to come in weekly) the number of concerts given was 3,959 and the atten-
dance was 2,036,406. In addition, ten radio broadcasts have boon per-
formed over Station H N E If, and permission has been given for the broad-
casting of sixteen more of the summer symphony "pop" concerts. The larg-
est orchestra of the Newark Units, the Newark Civic Symphony Orchestra,
has distinguished itself by a brilliant scries of six Beethoven Concerts
during which eight of the symphonies were presented, togothor with various
concerti and overtures; the ninth symphony will be presented in the fall
with a spocially trained chorus. At the Beethoven Cycle Concerts the
attendance was 7,100, an average of 1,183 persons for each concert; at
the final two concerts several hundred people were turned away after
three hundred standees had been admitted.
The Symphonic Bands in Jersey City, Trenton, Paterson, Atlantic
City and Camden are furnishing regular summer concerts in public parks
and the concert orchestras are at work in playgrounds and in outdoor af-
fairs of all descriptions, particularly in conjunction with the Recrea-

from operas in concert form, is now preparing; full fledged opera comique
for presentation in July. Both the Newark Civic Symphony and the Essex
County Opera Company have been charging small admissions with satisfac-
tory results, public and press support "being highly gratifying.
One of the best results of the Federal Music Project plans has
been the great increase of technique in performance owing to the regular
hours of rehearsal and the maintenance of musical discipline and a happy
spirit in the units.

This W.P.A. Project calls for classification, indexing and re-
pairing of Historic Gloucester County documents and Museum specimens.
This project was put into operation on November 7» 1935 > taking up the
work which was started under E.R.A. Project S-F2-132. The work of this
Project consists of repairing and classifying old Historical Gloucester
County documents, such as, newspapers, deeds, record books, and typing
necessary index and reference cards to classify these articles. This
information will be of value to students and professors of American His-
tory, to lawyers searching old titles and deeds, and also to geneolog-
ists.
Very favorable comment has been received from Mr. Frank H,
Steward, Custodian of records for Department of Public Records, State of
New Jersey, and also from a number of the members of the Board of Free-
holders of Gloucester County, expressing their appreciation of the co-
operation of the Project workers and of the value to the County of the
work that is being done.
No termination date has been set. Thero is much work yet to be
done. It is felt that whatever amount is broughtto completion will be
of sufficient value to warrant the project.
